The University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) School of Allied Medical Sciences (SAMS) officially transformed into a vibrant hub of camaraderie and academic excellence as it kicked off its highly anticipated SAMS Week. Running from March 16 to March 21, 2026, this year’s celebration adopted the whimsical and energetic theme of "𝖢𝖺𝗇𝖽𝗒 𝖫𝖺𝗇𝖽," symbolizing the diverse, colorful, and rewarding journey of healthcare professionals in training.

The week-long festivities commenced with a grand opening ceremony that underscored the department's commitment to holistic development. Leading the ceremonial rites was our esteemed 𝖣𝖾𝖺𝗇, 𝖣𝗋.

Throughout the week, the "Candy Land" theme served as a backdrop for a series of competitive and collaborative activities. From intense academic tilts to spirited team-building exercises, the event successfully bridged the gap between different year levels and disciplines. As we look forward to the rest of the semester, SAMS Week 2026 stands as a testament to the Josenian spirit: resilient, compassionate, and always moving toward a brighter, "sweeter" future in the medical field.
