Support UPMASA's Projects

Providing Healthcare Assistance and Supporting Medical Education in The Philippines

Our Vision

UPMASA is a community in which all University of the Philippines College of Medicine (UPCM) alumni in North America are accounted for and are actively involved in the activities of UPMASA National and its local chapters. We have a strong sense of camaraderie and belonging and feel a strong bond of loyalty and gratitude to our alma mater. We support each other and are committed to elevating medical education, patient care, and research in the UPCM, the Philippine General Hospital, and the University of the Philippines to serve the Filipino people. We empower the UPCM in its quest to be a global leader in medicine and public health.

Our Mission

UPMASA brings together alumni of the University of the Philippines College of Medicine in North America in a spirit of community to serve the Filipino people by supporting and promoting excellence in medical education, patient care and research at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine, the Philippine General Hospital, and the University of the Philippines.
