Cebu Institute of Medicine emerged as the top performing this year with a passing rate of 98.68 percent.
The University’s passing rate improved from the March 2021 PLE, previously at 88.33 percent.
Thomasian PLE takers plunged from 60 examinees in the March 2021 PLE to nine for the September 2021 PLE due to the postponement of the test in Metro Manila following the spike in Delta cases.
The Professional Regulation Commission posted that 1,084 out of 1,546 passed the Physician Licensure Examination given by the Board of Medicine in Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legazpi, Lucena, Tacloban, and Zamboanga on September 2021.
