QuestionsQuestions (PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 46)
It authorizes graduates who receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Philippine Medical School to practice medicine and surgery in the Philippine Islands without taking the examination prescribed by Act No. 310, upon compliance with registration requirements.
The graduate must present his diploma from the Philippine Medical School to the Board of Medical Examiners for the Philippine Islands.
No. Section 1 states that the Board shall issue a certificate of registration without examination to the qualifying diploma holder.
After receiving the certificate of registration from the Board, it must be duly recorded in the office of the register of deeds in the province(s) where the person may practice, or in the City of Manila, as the case may be.
Section 2 provides that they are subject to the provisions and liable to the penalties under Act No. 310.
It establishes for each province of the Philippine Islands one free scholarship in the Philippine Medical School to be awarded upon competitive examinations.
It must be held in each province on June 1, 1907, under the general supervision of the Director of Education and the immediate control of the division superintendent of schools.
The competitor in each province obtaining the highest general percentage above 75% in each subject shall be awarded the scholarship corresponding to that province.
Section 3(b) states that successful competitors are certified by the Director of Education to the board of control of the Philippine Medical School.
Upon approval of the board of control, they are duly matriculated in the Philippine Medical School.
They are government students and are allowed transportation to Manila, board, subsistence, and maintenance in Manila while attending the Medical School, not exceeding P500 per annum each, plus transportation returning to their provinces upon receiving the Doctor of Medicine degree.
They are denied further scholarship privileges and are forthwith returned to their province at government expense.
They must return to their province and practice medicine and surgery therein for a period at least equal to the time of their scholarship tuition, unless permission to do otherwise is granted by the Secretary of the Interior.
Failure to comply is deemed sufficient grounds for revocation of the license to practice medicine and surgery in the same manner as other offenses described by Section 8 of Act No. 310.
No. Section 3(e) provides that no tuition, laboratory, or other fees shall be charged scholarship students in the Philippine Medical School.
Section 4 appropriates P15,000 (or so much thereof as necessary) from any funds in the Insular Treasury not otherwise appropriated, expended by the Bureau of Education under similar conditions to those for government students in the United States.
