JUSTIFICATION
According to our research a simulation center needs to be near the learners who are the
students, fresh graduate, and resident doctors. According to the statistical data of CHED, NCR
and CALABARZON have the most number of Non- steam courses (Medical and Allied courses
included) enrollees nationwide and most of the Universities that is a COE in Medical and Allied
courses are in Metro Manila. Knowing these, we focused our site selection within Metro
Manila, specifically in Manila, Caloocan, and Quezon City. Also, as to provide for the students
outside Metro Manila, we decided to pick a site in Cavite, particularly in Dasmarinas.
