The School of Medicine of Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC), a Commission of Higher Education accredited institution, was established on 23 July 2001 by Dr. Paulo C. Campos, a National Scientist in Nuclear Medicine. Dr. Campos envisioned the school to be an outstanding institution for medical education and health research. As such, the School shall provide an educational and scientific environment that prepares the student to become professionally competent, socially-relevant and compassionate physicians with a strong commitment to lifelong learning. The School is also committed to undertake relevant reforms on medical education in response to changing national and global health needs and scenarios as well as newly generated medical information. The medical school is staffed by a committed, academically and clinically–respected and experienced faculty; implements a traditional but synchronized curriculum with early clinical integration and emphasis on interactive learning process; and boasts of superior teaching and clinical facilities notably its main teaching–training hospital – the Medical Center Manila, a Philhealth Accredited Center for Excellence and ISO 9001 Certified Hospital, a rare distinction among tertiary private or government hospitals in the Philippines, as well as clinical affiliation with the University of the Philippines College of Medicine – Philippine General Hospital Medical Center. As the "Benjamin" among the health science schools of the Emilio Aguinaldo College, which include Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing-Midwifery, Occupational-Physical Therapy, Nutrition-Dietetics, Medical Technology, Radiology Technology and Respiratory Therapy, the Medical School is always conscious of the need for close collaboration with its local sister health units as well as other respected affiliated medical institutions, i.e. Qiqihar Medical University in China and the University of the Philippines College of Medicine – Philippine General Hospital Medical Center, in order that EAC becomes a true Health Science Center that is recognized not only nationally but also internationally through its significant contributions to the health manpower training needs of the country and the rest of the world. The School of Medicine articulates the vision that it will be an outstanding medical and health research institution. It will provide an educational scientific environment that will prepare medical students to become competent, humane and caring physicians even as they sustain their own development thru opportunities of life-long studies.
