The University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery is one of the oldest medical schools in Asia that produces quality doctors locally and globally. During my time as a student, I appreciated the hands-on learning experience from professors. The same faculty members inspired me to pursue my specialty in Oncology. Your mentors in the med school are not just your teachers, but they also help direct you to your desired practice. The referral system is also helpful in our practice to help us serve our patients who are in need of expert consultation. There is a new extension hospital that houses even more rooms to do surgical and medical procedures as well as an upcoming research building dedicated to the faculty. The program has always been on top in the Philippines and the commitment to innovations and new facilities keep it relevant for times to come.
