The consultants will either be medically qualified with sound experience in the field of medical education or educators familiar with current methods of teaching and recent developments in the field of education.

The consultants in close collaboration with the Association of the Philippine Medical Colleges, will participate in the planning and operation of the workshop and give technical guidance and direction to the meeting,
