The innovative stepladder curriculum, the first of its kind in Asia, is the main feature of the school’s academic program. It is an outcome-based and community-based curriculum which integrates the training of the broad range of health human resources from the midwife, nurse, and physician in a single, sequential, and continuous curriculum. This strategy has been used as a model by several community-based health training programs worldwide.\\

After ten (10) quarters of training, the student shall have acquired the knowledge and skills of a midwife and earns the Diploma in Midwifery (Community Health Work) which qualifies him/her to practice midwifery after passing the Midwifery Licensure Examination. A student who goes on for another eight (8) quarters of study graduates with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) which qualifies him/her to practice nursing after passing the Nurse Licensure Examination. The final level of the curriculum is the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program. It consists of a yearly interval of didactics, clinical and community experiences over a period of five years. After completing the prescribed period of study, the student is qualified to take the Physicians Licensure Examination and subsequently practice medicine after passing the examination.\\

==== Admission Requirements ====
//Democratized Admission - A “counter-culture” approach to education//\\

Recruitment and admission policies deemphasize past academic performance. Instead the school admits scholars based on community needs and the scholars’ willingness and commitment to serve the community. Students do not apply on their own, instead target areas are chosen as recipients of scholarship based on current availability of health workers, health statistics, population and economic status.\\
=== Graduation Requirements ===
Multiple Levels of Exit and the Mechanism for Lateral Entry\\

A student may exit from any level of the curriculum and return to the community as a functional health worker. Thus, a graduate could exit as a Midwife, a Nurse, or a Medical Practitioner.\\

After a period of serving the community, and should there be a need for health workers with advanced skills, a graduate can be readmitted to the next level of the curriculum subject to community need and endorsement, and the student’s performance in the previous level.\\

After ten (10) quarters of training, the student shall have acquired the knowledge and skills of a midwife and earns the Diploma in Midwifery (Community Health Work) which qualifies him/her to practice midwifery after passing the Midwifery Licensure Examination. A student who goes on for another eight (8) quarters of study graduates with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) which qualifies him/her to practice nursing after passing the Nurse Licensure Examination. The final level of the curriculum is the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program. It consists of a yearly interval of didactics, clinical and community experiences over a period of five years. After completing the prescribed period of study, the student is now qualified to take the Physicians Licensure Examination and subsequently practice medicine after passing the examinations.\\
