Students seeking admission to the medical education program must be a holder of any baccalaureate degree. Prerequisite 2: National Medical Admission Test (NMAT). Applicants to medical schools in the Philippines are required to take the NMAT. The test is developed and administered by the Center for Educational Measurement, Inc. (CEM) as authorized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) per Memorandum of Agreement (1985) between the former Board of Medical Education, now Technical Committee for Medical Education, and CEM. The testing dates, local and abroad, are decided and announced by the CHED and CEM. An NMAT applicant must be a graduate or a graduating student of any college degree course at the time of testing. Foreign students and graduates of foreign schools may be required to present on the day of the test, a copy of their Transcript of Records together with their NMAT Identification Form. The NMAT scores obtained by a medical school applicant at any given examination year are deemed sufficient and valid as basis for evaluating applicants for admission to a college of medicine. The applicant is encouraged to do well in the test and obtain his/her best scores in the NMAT to increase his/her chances of being accepted in the best medical schools in the Philippines. Prerequisite 3: Certificate of Eligibility for Admission to a Medical Course (CEMed). The CEMed application form may be obtained from the regional offices of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Foreign students may apply at CHED Office of Student Services (OSS) located at the National Engineering Center Building, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City.
