Components of social accountability in medical education among other things, include the need for health professional education training program to address the local workforce and local health needs in the rural communities of the region it serve. In meeting these needs the schools may be deemed as socially accountable. This study was conducted to describe how the graduates of ADZU-SOM and XU-JPRSM address the local workforce and local health needs in terms of practice location and job function in the past 10 years.Total count sampling of all contactable graduates was used to gather respondents and a Graduate Outcome Study (GOS) survey tool and an online version was used to gather these data. Out of the total 464 graduates of XU-JPRSM, only 108 graduates were successfully contacted while out of 231 graduates of ADZU-SOM, 172 graduates were contacted. Frequency distribution and percentage were used to show how both schools addressthe local workforce and local needs. ADZU-SOM supplied 38 (6.70%) graduates of the 567 rural health physicians working in Region IX. While XU-JPRSM contributed 7 (0.69%) graduates of the, 1,020 rural physicians employed in different municipalities in Region X. Both Regions met the ideal doctor to population ratio of 1 doctor per 20,000 populations. However, Region X still needs doctor to address the five doctor-less municipalities in the region while Region IX currently have no doctor-less municipalities. In order to address these gaps, medical school’s curriculum must espouse their students to the value of social accountability which promise to increase graduate outcomes toward community work placements.
