A powerful symbol of excellence and legacy in medical education was captured during the testimonial celebration held on May 7, 2026, as two Lyceum-Northwestern University Dr. Francisco Q. Duque Medical Foundation College of Medicine topnotchers shared one frame.

Dr. Erwin Ken A. Parchaso, Top 1 in the March 2026 Physicians Licensure Examination (PLE), stood alongside Dr. Chino Paolo Samson, Top 5 in the November 2020 PLE—marking another proud milestone for the L-NU College of Medicine.

The moment highlights L-NU’s continuing tradition of producing outstanding physicians and board topnotchers, reinforcing its reputation as one of the country’s leading medical institutions.

From Top 5 to Top 1, the achievement reflects a back-to-back legacy of excellence that continues to inspire future Lycean doctors.
