PRC urged to waive board exams for new doctors amid COVID-19 pandemic Senator Francis Tolentino cited Section 12 of Republic Act No. 2382 or the Medical Act of 1959 which states in the presence of pandemics or national emergencies, “medical students who have completed the first four years of medical course, graduates of medicine, and registered nurses are allowed to render medical services upon authorization by the Secretary of Health without need of a certificate of registration.” His suggestion would be similar to Italy’s move waiving the licensure exam for 10,000 medical graduates as well as to United Kingdom, which opted for this emergency move during both World Wars. “Sa Italy, ginawa na nila ito. Hindi na nila pinakuha ng licensure examination ang 10,000 nilang medical graduates at pinayagan na silang maging ganap na mga doktor para agad silang makatulong sa COVID-19 health crisis nila doon,” If you are one of the medical students taking the board exam this year, would you agree with this statement?
