Here are some guidelines in making and tailoring the “Type A uniform”, in order for our future doctors to look their very best!

In wearing the Type A uniform, it should also be worn with the nameplate and I.D. The nameplates, I.D. lanyards, and patches are all part of your 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝑬𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔 — probably the most important items that you will need during your stay as a BUCM student 😉🩺

We will be posting the rest of your 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝑬𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔 and their corresponding prices soon so make sure to get notified with our latest posts and updates 🫡

Big Congratulations to the Valedictorian of Batch Sirang, Kuya-Dok Christian Tansuico Linatoc!

As valedictorian, he delivered his Valedictory Address during the 7th Hooding Ceremony held last July 10, 2024 at The Oriental Hotel, Legazpi City.

In his speech, he shared his experiences in pursuing his dream of becoming a doctor and expressed gratitude to all the people who supported him throughout his medical school journey. He also emphasized that despite the challenges he faced and his own doubts, pursuing medicine is truly a risk worth taking and that he and all of his batchmates are now their own “sirang” or ray of light — prepared to make a positive impact on society.

To Kuya-Dok Chan, you have truly become an inspiring ray of light to us through your brilliance and grit. Padayon, Dok and to Batch Sirang ☀️

A Constitution and By-laws revision process is in the works as the 10th MSC convened for the CBL Revision meeting, as part of their action plan for the upcoming academic year.

The meeting was held yesterday, July 10, 2024, in the afternoon at Antonia's Restaurant, Cafe, and Event Place, right after the 7th BUCM Hooding Ceremony at The Oriental Hotel in Legazpi City.

The purpose of the whole revision process is to assess the effectiveness of the MSC Constitution and By-laws and improve certain aspects for it to be responsive enough to the changing needs of the college and its student body.

Moreover, the revision will undergo a democratic process and the student council will ensure through separate a meeting and an assembly that all those who are concerned such as the year-level and college-based organizational officers and the whole student population will partake in identifying the necessary amendments.
