The UPCM

At the dawn of the 20th century, the UP College of Medicine was established to address the needs of the emerging Filipino nation. Conceived as the Philippine Medical School in 1905, it continues as the country's premier medical institution: centered on the precepts of science, culture, and empathy; built on a foundation of selfless dedication to the advancement of the Filipino people, maintaining its distinction as the national center for medical learning.

Through the years, the UP College of Medicine has been a symbol of hope for the Filipinos in their history as a colonized nation, through two world wars and rehabilitation and as a free people. These years have been marked by the constant struggle against poverty, sickness and even death. In the desire to surmount these problems, the College has continually placed itself at the forefront of medical education, research and service.

The UP College of Medicine sees itself as a community of scholars, competent and socially responsible; possessed of moral, ethical and spiritual vigor; and committed to the development of the Philippine society through excellence and leadership in community-oriented medical education, research and service.

The UPMASA

Members of UPMASA are products of the prestigious UPCM and PGH. They have received further training in North America, and most are still in training or are currently working in the US and Canada. UPMASA also has members who have gone back to serve the Philippines both in rural and urban settings. To them, UPMASA serves as a home away from home. A welcoming family of doctors they once shared dreams, tears, and hope with.
