Philosophy and goals - Medical education in the Philippines continues to be charged with being so hospital-oriented that it has failed to produce physicians who are responsive to the needs of the country. Instead, its products, being tailor-made for practice in the developed countries, easily leave the country.

• To encourage and maintain awareness of the social and economic conditions of the country and of the world at large.
• To equip the students with adequate knowledge of and skills in the basic medical sciences, the clinical disciplines, and preventive medicine.
• To inspire the students to keep abreast with new developments, innovations and researches in the field of medicine. and
• To motivate the students to pursue expanded expertise in their field of specialization.
