Doctor of Medicine Program

Caraga State University formally introduced its Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program to the public and media partners in a stakeholders' forum streamed live via the official Facebook Page today, April 25, 2025.

The MD Program under CSU’s School of Medicine, also branded as the “home of Five-Star Physicians,” will be offered starting in August, the first semester of the Academic Year 2025-2026, with a target of 25-30 pioneering students. Its official website was launched earlier this week, highlighting the program and its online submission of requirements: som.carsu.edu.ph.
