June 30, 2019 — The National Graduate Office for the Health Sciences of UP Manila is accepting applicants for the PhD in Health Sciences by Publication, a new graduate program that was approved by the UP Board of Regents at its meeting on Feb. 4, 2019.
The first of its kind in UP and the country, the PhD by Publication in the Health Sciences is a research degree intended for mid-career academics who have contributed a sizable amount of new knowledge in their respective fields in the health sciences. These academics, while pursuing various careers, must have continued pursuing their research vigorously, be recognized in the research area they have specialized in, and must have published in both international and local indexed scientific literature.
Currently, UP Manila offers mostly professional degrees in health, such as medicine, pharmacy, allied medical professions, dentistry, nursing, and public health. While our health professionals and those from other universities stayed in the academe to practice their areas of specialization, some continue to actively engage in research. In this era when research recognized by the scientific community is considered the mark of excellence, the graduate program provides another path towards scholastic advancement for health scientists.
The program covers four research areas: Biomolecular and Pharmacological Research, Ecotoxicological and Environmental Health Research, Health Social Science Research, and Clinical Research.
