Research Agenda setting was conducted by the Research Institute by incorporating the agenda of the different Colleges. The following themes were derived:
The 3 colleges of the Medical Center are PAASCU accredited with the highest level of accreditation among its peers. There is a need to document and tell the public why UERM colleges are the best in their respective fields. We can also cover researches on our teaching strategies, our student selection, and the impact of our education on their future career and ultimately, we are also interested in where our graduates are now in terms of their career paths and location.
We want to focus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) because they are the top killers in the Philippines. Of the total deaths, more than half will be due to the “fatal four” NCDs, namely cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disease.
More Filipinos are exposed to NCD risk factors (tobacco and alcohol use, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity) This makes millions of Filipinos vulnerable to developing NCDs in the future.
