The College of Medicine of the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center was established in 1957 as the University of the East College of Medicine. In 1958, it became the first unit of the newly organized non-stock, non-profit foundation and renamed as the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center. The foundation was named in honor of the late President Ramon Magsaysay who died in a plane crash in the same year. President Carlos P. Garcia described the founding of UERMMMC as a “great adventure, marking the advent in the Philippines of educational philanthropy”.

Introduction to UERM MED Life

The Dean of the College of Medicine requested that Batch 2008 introduce the incoming medical students to University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center (UERMMMC) by making primer videos on what the life of  medical student in UERM is all about. I found these videos and would like to share it with you guys.

Notice that in the videos, the facilities and equipments are no match as compared to UST-FMS. But I don't know, are they honestly that important?? Something to think about.
