TO ADDRESS the growing demand for healthcare professionals in the country, the Far Eastern University is expanding its healthcare programs starting Academic Year 2024-2025.

FEU Manila will offer BS in Nutrition and Dietetics and BS in Pharmacy, while FEU Cavite will introduce BS in Nursing.

“Addressing the gaps in our healthcare industry requires the collaboration of many relevant stakeholders. FEU wants to do its part by equipping more future healthcare professionals with practical skills and global perspectives that will enable them to address various healthcare challenges effectively,” FEU Institute of Health Sciences and Nursing Dean Moira Uy said.

With an aspiration to position Philippine healthcare education in the global landscape, FEU achieved a significant milestone through its international branch campus in Brunei, JPMC College of Health Sciences.

This pioneering endeavor makes FEU the first Philippine university to receive a transnational permit for nursing from the Commission on Higher Education.

“FEU actively participates in the goals of the Transnational Higher Education Act by facilitating the exchange of information, personnel, and academic programs. This joint venture promotes innovation and collaboration, positioning FEU as a competitive force in nursing education on a global scale,” Uy added.

FEU’s recent accomplishments underscore its top-tier status in healthcare education. FEU Manila also ranked third in the latest Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination with a 91.84% passing rate and achieved a 92.86% passing rate for first-time examinees in the Medical Technology Licensure Examination.

“FEU shall serve as principal instrument for generating nursing knowledge, innovation, and technology to develop relevant and technical higher order skills needed to compete in the international knowledge economy. FEU has been and still is actively making its contribution in quality healthcare resource generation,” Uy concluded.
