| description | Purpose: Health professions education (HPE), particularly dental education, nursing education, and medical education, had been standardized in the Philippines and the rest of the Southeast Asian nations. This study evaluated the interests of Filipinos in HPE through relative search volume (RSV) trends of search terms including dental degree (DMD), bachelor of science in nursing (BSN), and medical degree (MD). Methods: A search query was done on Google Trends using the search terms DMD, BSN, and MD under the degree category. Restriction of data originating from the Philippines, from December 2009 to December 2019, under the health category, and the web search database were ensured to these parameters. Results: ANOVA with post hoc Tukey's multiple comparison test further revealed significant differences F (2, 30) = 59.12 between DMD and MD (p < 0.0001), and BSN and MD (p < 0.0001), but not in DMD and BSN (p = 0.481) within the framework of Filipino search trends. Simple Seasonal Model for DMD, and the Winters' Multiplicative for BSN and MD were found to fit their individual trends. The series chart showed a slight increase for the DMD, a decline for the BSN, and a steady progression for the MD. Conclusion: The interests of HPE in the Philippines will continue. Interests in MD showed the highest, while lower but comparable peak popularity in DMD and RN is reemerging. |
