WHEREAS, acute imbalances in the

graduate courses in the arts and sciences, education, medical sciences,
agriculture and forestry, engineering and technology, necessary to meet

WHEREAS, the establishment of a College of Medicine at the WMSU can
provide opportunities for qualified indigenous young residents to
become professional physicians who can minister to the underserved
areas of the Region;
WHEREAS, the proposed College, founded on the philosophy of primary
health care, shall provide a relevant community-based and
problem-centered program of medical training;
WHEREAS, because of its unique approach to medical education, the

financially supported by the World Health Organization; approved by the
Board of Medical Education; and endorsed for presidential approval by
the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, the Ministry of Health,
