Also, it is committed to undertaking relevant reforms on medical education in response to changing national and global health needs and scenarios, as well as newly generated medical information.
The staff of the School of Medicine is dedicated, respected, and competent academicians, as well as clinicians who are well-known in their fields of specialty and they, implement an outcome-based, synchronized curriculum, with early clinical integration and emphasis on the interactive learning process. Also, they are having well-equipped classrooms, basic science, and skills laboratories and a library.
Classrooms, laboratory facilities, and offices were well confined at the 9th floor of Building 7 and Building 5 in the past but due to the growing population of both medical students and faculty members, expansion to the EAC Building 7 became necessary on 10th floor in Manila, Philippines.
