This is the Manila Central University – Filemon D. Tanchoco Medical Foundation.
     The MCU College of Medicine, established in 1947, now has thousands of graduates in the medical profession, academe and community health service.
     MCU Hospital, which was set-up at about the same time, has provided patients with utmost healthcare and service for over 65 years.

Tanchoco, a man of integrity and commitment and a career educator. Thus, the MCU Filemon D. Tanchoco Medical Foundation was established in 1971.

MCU Medicine’s board performance tops 93%
      In recent years, the MCU-FDTMF College of Medicine graduates continuously surpass its past board performances. The College of Medicine garnered 93.33%, for the first takers, in the August 2012 Physicians Licensure Examination. This passing rate topped the national passing average of 78.8%.
     The increasing passing rate of the College is a concrete evidence that the college is performing well. The intensive review of the senior interns during their hospital internship was a great help for the board exam takers.
     During the examination proper, Dr. Elvira M. Abreu, Dean of College of Medicine, together with Doctors Merlina Cabrera and Julieta Dizon went to the testing centers to give moral support.
     The Administration officials led by Dr. Aristotle T. Malabanan, President, Dr. Lutgarda C. Quito, Executive Vice President, Mrs. Purificacion M. Echiverri, Administrator, Dr. Abreu, faculty members and staff of different departments celebrated the success of the new MCU-FDTMF doctors during a testimonial luncheon last September 10, 2012 at Anatomy Building Room 202.
     “Most of them were in tears as they went back to give thanks to the faculty, administration, and the Foundation for the milestone in their lives. They were all like walking on cloud nine,” Dr. Abreu said as she described the new MCU physicians.
