PRC schedules in-person oathtaking of new physicians on Dec. 13

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced on Monday, Nov. 20, the date and venue for the in-person mass oathtaking ceremony for new physicians.

In a Facebook post, the PRC said the oathtaking ceremony will be at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City on Dec. 13.

PRC added that the oathtaking was scheduled for three sessions: 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

To participate in the face-to-face oathtaking event, successful examinees must complete the pre-registration process on the PRC website (http://online.prc.gov.ph) before noon on the oathtaking day.

Participants are required to print the oath form, which includes a generated QR code, to confirm their attendance.

For those unable to attend the in-person oathtaking ceremony, arrangements can be made for a special appointment or an online ceremony option will be made available.

Details about the online ceremony will be posted once the schedule is confirmed, PRC said.

It added that newly inducted physicians must complete their initial registration by making an online appointment on the official PRC website following the oath-taking ceremony.
