Those practicing medicine under this Act are still fully subject to the legal provisions and penalties outlined in Act No. 310.

One free scholarship per province is established at the Philippine Medical School.
Competitive examinations held annually on June 1 under the supervision of the Director of Education and the division superintendent determine scholarship recipients.
The examination standards are at least equivalent to high school graduation level.
The student with the highest score above 75% in each province receives a scholarship.
Selected students must be certified by the Director of Education and approved by the Medical School's board of control to matriculate.
Scholarship benefits include payment for transportation to and from Manila, board, subsistence, and maintenance expenses capped at 500 pesos per year.
Students failing to pass advancement exams or violating school rules are expelled and must return at government expense, losing scholarship privileges.
Graduates must practice medicine in their home province equal to the length of the scholarship unless granted a waiver by the Secretary of the Interior.
Failure to fulfill this practice requirement may lead to revocation of medical license.
No tuition or other school fees are charged to scholarship students.

Fifteen thousand pesos are appropriated from the Insular Treasury to fund the scholarship program.
The Bureau of Education is responsible for managing the funds, following conditions similar to those applied to government students studying abroad.

The Act takes effect immediately upon passage.
The passage of this bill was expedited for the public good according to procedural statutes.
