SUBJECT: APMC-SN STATEMENT ON THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE SEPTEMBER 2021 PLE

In the past weeks, there has been a significant increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, with a record-high number of 22,366 daily cases last August 30, 2021. This surge, together with the emergence of more transmissible variants, has threatened the safety and well-being of Filipinos nationwide, including our board takers for the September 2021 Physician Licensure Exam. Not only does this pose various logistical and financial concerns, but it also threatens the health of the examinees, their families, and their communities.

APMC-SN F.Y. 2021-2022, through the National Medical Internship Committee, wrote a letter to the APMCI last August 26, 2021 (Thursday) in hopes of addressing these issues and concerns. Within this letter, the Student Network emphasized the strain of the pandemic to this batch of board takers as concerns arise regarding examination application, extended enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), and increasing cases of variants in our country. Furthermore, we requested from APMCI a memorandum to provide support for the examinees and clarify a previous resolution stating that there shall be no postponement of the PLE.

Last August 30, 2021, APMCI responded favorably to our request as they released a resolution addressed to the Philippine Regulatory Commission Board of Medicine (PRC BOM), citing our request to postpone the upcoming Physician Licensure Examination until it is deemed safe to do so.

On the same day, the PRC BOM responded to the letter recommending proceeding with the scheduled PLE as long as it is allowed by the IATF. If IATF rejects conducting the PLE in MECQ areas, the PLE will be postponed nationwide.

In this light, we commend all individuals and organizations who amplified the call to postpone the PLE and lobbied for the health and safety of the examinees. With this, the APMC-SN and APMCI support the call to postpone the September 2021 PLE as it is the only way we can assure of the safety and well-being of the board takers. We, as the national medical student network, are one with the medical community as we advocate for the protection of our valuable future physicians.

May this plea also serve as a reminder of the flaws within our healthcare system. The daily struggles our healthcare workers face should not be projected as resiliency, but as the absence of a proactive government. It is of utmost importance that this batch of board takers are not seen as mere supply of human resources during a pandemic, but as significant assets requiring sufficient moral and economic support. Repeatedly, we demand for a system that prioritizes the oppressed and overworked.
