WITH its recent academic achievements, Davao Doctors College (DDC) cements its standing as a reputable educational institution providing quality education in Davao City.
Six more students from DDC joined the league of board exam topnotchers for the academic year 2018-2019.
DDC president Prof. Miguel Soledad said it is quite a productive year for the school and they hope to maintain this momentum for the coming years.
“We are very happy about having managed to sustain our board performance,” he shared, adding DDC has been producing topnotchers in different professions for the past 23 years.
For this school year, DDC has 9th placer in Occupational Therapy Licensure Exam; 2nd and 10th placers in Radiologic Technology Licensure Exam; and 4th, 6th, and 10th placers in Doctor of Optometry Licensure Exam.
