Our team had 3 community exposures in Brgy.

Along with the help of the residents, we have now identified the 5 major problems in Brgy. Tomitom. These problems were presented to the local officials as well as the preceptors involved in assisting the medical students in formulating health plans. 3 out of 5 health problems are presently being addressed namely: Hypertension, Solid Waste Management, and Lack of Health Services.
