PREAMBLE
Since 1975, after graduating from the University of the Philippines College of Medicine (UPCM) and Philippine General Hospital (PGH) up to the present (2019), Dr. Reynaldo O. Joson has been living a life reflective of that of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, a COMMUNITY-ORIENTED PHYSICIAN, a 5-STAR PHYSICIAN (MD-Clinician; MD-Community Health Problem Solver; MD-Educator; MD-Researcher; and MD-Manager) and a HOLISTIC PHYSICIAN-EDUCATOR (medical healer cum life coach in intentional living in the context of health). He has constantly strove for excellence and quality professional services to his community, patients, and students in the Philippines.
He subscribes to and is an advocate of the Health for All Filipinos Movement. For this reason, he created a personal program in 1989 which he dubbed as Education for Health Development in the Philippines (EdHeDePhi).
Before 1989, ROJoson had participated in numerous surgical missions in underserved communities in the Philippines. However, starting 1989, he felt EDUCATION would carry more impact and longer lasting effect in improving the health care delivery systems and services in the Philippines. He subscribes to the saying “Give a man a fish, you feed him for one day. Teach him how to fish, you feed him for his whole lifetime.” That was how his Education for Health Development in the Philippines (EdHeDePhi) Program started in 1989 and is continuing up to the present (2019).
The goal of the EdHeDePhi is health development in the Philippines through education.
The objectives are: 1) to promote a dynamically improving health education in health and non-health educational institutions and 2) to conduct health education to the public.
To promote a dynamically improving health education in health and non-health educational institutions, the following have been utilized:
- Agents: a) curriculum; b) educators; and c) students.
- Tools: a) services and b) research
- Strategies: a) curriculum development and improvement; b) faculty training - student training; c) public health education; d) multi-sectoral cooperation; and e) outreach programs.
The targets of ROJoson's EdHeDePhi are the following: a) public; b) health educational institutions - medical schools, nursing schools, and other paramedical schools; c) non-health educational institutions; and d) other health agencies.
The evaluation indicators would consist of documented improvements in a) health development in the Philippines, in specific communities in the Philippines; b) health problems in the Philippines, in specific communities in the Philippines; c) health education curriculum; d) health educators; and e) competencies of health education students.
In November 2019, Dr. ROJoson made a summative evaluation of his EdHeDePhi Program of 30 years using the original blueprint as basis. The details can be seen in https://rojosonedhedephi.wordpress.com/2019/11/22/edhedephi-evaluation-2019/
ROJoson has devoted and focused 40 years of his professional life after graduation from the UPCM in 1974 to the following medical endeavors which all redound to better health care delivery services not only to his patients and institutions he is connected with but also to patients and institutions at large (in the Philippines):
· Medical-surgical education
· Patient-centered care management
· Community service through outreach medical-surgical education inclusive of public health education
· Health action research
· Hospital administration and quality management system
· Hospital disaster preparedness program
All the abovementioned focused medical endeavors are considered his flagship projects under the Education for Health Development in the Philippines (EdHeDePhi) Program.
For education, he has used the following teaching-learning strategies and activities for his students (in medicine, in surgery, in hospital administration, in hospital quality management system, and in hospital disaster preparedness program) and for the public or community at large (in public health management, in public health education, and in patient-centered care management):

The subsequent reports to follow, under each judging criterion of the Award (Academe Involvement; Research and Scholarly Works; Community, Socio-cultural and Religious Involvement; Government Service / Partnership; Professional Practice, Experience and Training; Excellence in other fields of endeavor), will elucidate on the program and implementation of the ROJoson's EdHeDePhi and its outcome and impact in improving the health care delivery systems and services in the Philippines. The reports together with supporting documents and additional documents containing more detailed information will show how ROJoson has distinguished himself in living a life reflective of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, particularly in being a COMMUNITY-ORIENTED PHYSICIAN, a 5-STAR PHYSICIAN (MD-Clinician; MD-Community Health Problem Solver; MD-Educator; MD-Researcher; and MD-Manager) and a HOLISTIC PHYSICIAN-EDUCATOR (medical healer cum life coach in intentional living in the context of health).
