MBBS in Philippines is one of the best prospects for those seeking MBBS abroad. However, there are several universities out there offering the best quality amenities. However, there is a confusion among students regarding which one to choose. This post pits the Emilio Aguinaldo College against the Davao Medical College over 2 of the most considered aspects.

The aim of this post is to provide enough vital information so that students are able to make a well-informed decision.

The Davao Medical College has perhaps the best BS-MD program in all of the Philippines and perhaps the world.

• Histology

• Neurology

• Pediatrics

• Surgery

• Psychiatry

• Pharmacology

• Cardiology

• Internal Medicine

• Legal Medicine

• Radiology

• Ophthalmology

• Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and various others

If we look at the Emilio Aguinaldo College on the other hand, it offers a variety of graduate, undergraduate, doctoral, and diploma courses. It has 2 campuses in Cavite and Manila. Some of the most sought-after courses include: -

• Dental Medicine

• Medical Technology

• Nursing and Midwifery

So, if we look at the academics, both institutions are almost equally matched with on e another.

Fee Structures

If we consider the Emilio Aguinaldo College, the students have to pay a total of INR 23-24 Lakh for an MD course that lasts up to 4-years. 

On the other hand, the Davao Medical College Philippines fees stands at somewhere around INR 22-23 Lakh.

Both these fees are inclusive of the tuition fees, accommodation+meals, as well as all the other miscellaneous charges levied by both universities. Additionally, there are no donations and/or capitation fees to be paid in addition to the above charges.

If we look at the bigger picture, we can say that both these universities have some meagre differences, but otherwise, these are both equally matched. Students looking for MBBS in Philippines can choose any of the 2 without worrying.
