Given its Level II Reaccreditation status by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU), an external body that checks the quality standards of universities, the college continues to provide world-class, advanced, and safe quality education. From the traditional ways of examining the cadavers to using a high technology 3D dissection table called the Anatomage, specifically acquired to ensure the safety of students in the new normal without sacrificing the teaching and learning quality.
The university has its own hospital where all clinical clerkships are conducted. Our students will have the opportunity to experience being trained in an actual tertiary hospital before they face the real world of being a physician.

Vision

Your path to saving lives starts here; become a holistic doctor through our Doctor of Medicine program. One of the seven pioneer medical schools in the Philippines, with an extensive alumni network and full support and exposure from our own partner tertiary hospital, the College of Medicine, will make you an exceptional doctor.
Manila Central University is dedicated to the following seven Institutional Learning Outcomes:
Community exposure is an experience-based strategy to run for four (4) weeks, wherein students in the health professions will have an opportunity to experience the way of life in the community, engage with the people, and discover the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats encountered by the community. These will allow the student to understand better the dynamics of community life, and the realization of the different community concerns through exposure to actual life situations, specifically in the deprived, depressed, and underprivileged community of Maysilo, Malabon City, and apply knowledge and skills to benefit the partner community. Community exposure is also one way of teaching students that developing trust with their patients “requires some understanding of the social, economic, psychological and cultural issues” these people face.
This program is under the supervision of the Department of Family and
Community Medicine wherein the student shall be assigned to join the Filipino clinical clerks as they are expected to initiate community-based interventions by encouraging community participation, which includes participatory action in research and training of barangay health workers, promoting sharing of responsibility to maintain the health of the people between the community and the Institution.
Students will promote maternal, childcare, and other public health topics related to Department of Health initiatives through lectures, interactive discussions, and video presentations. Community activities include public health lectures, mother’s classes, community diagnosis, family profiles, and health consultations. The conferences include Clinical Case Discussions Using Evidence-Based Medicine, Family Profiles, Community Diagnosis, and Industrial Visits. They will also get the opportunity to witness and engage in activities in other departments like Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Pediatrics.
