Overview
At Tamayo Medical University, quality is not a department or a policy document. It is the standard by which we measure every lecture delivered, every clinical rotation supervised, every lab session conducted, and every graduate sent into the world.
For Indian students specifically, our quality commitment means:
Curriculum Quality — Every subject taught at UPH-DJGTMU aligns with Schedule-I of the NMC India notification dated 18 November 2021. The content that prepares you for a lifetime of medical practice is the same content tested in India's FMGE/NExT examination.
Clinical Quality — Real patients. Real hospitals. Real exposure. Our five affiliated hospitals across Metro Manila — with over 2,020 combined clinical beds — provide the hands-on, supervised patient contact that produces genuinely practice-ready physicians.
Faculty Quality — Our faculty are not just academics. They are practicing clinicians who bring current, real-world medical knowledge into every classroom and bedside teaching session.
Compliance Quality — UPH-DJGTMU maintains full compliance with CHED Philippines, NMC India, WHO/WDOMS, and ECFMG standards. The Embassy of India, Manila, officially confirmed our NMC compliance on 17 June 2026.
Student Experience Quality — Safe in-campus hostels. Daily Indian food. 24/7 security. A supportive Indian student community. These are not afterthoughts — they are part of our quality commitment, because a student who is safe and comfortable learns better.
Our quality policy is simple: every decision we make is measured against one question — does this make our graduates better physicians?
Vision
The University of Perpetual Help System aspires to be the world’s most trusted institution for international medical education — delivering innovative, excellence-driven academic programmes that shape compassionate, globally competent physicians.

We see a future where our international graduates return to their home nations as skilled, ethical physicians who improve lives, strengthen healthcare systems, and carry the legacy of Perpetual Help beyond borders.
CORE VALUES
🏛️ 1. EXCELLENCE
Pagiging Mahusay — Striving for the Highest Standard in Everything We Do
At Tamayo Medical University, excellence is not an aspiration — it is an expectation. We hold every student, faculty member, and administrator to the highest academic and professional standards. For Indian MBBS aspirants, this commitment to excellence translates directly into an NMC-aligned curriculum, research-driven teaching, and clinical training across five major Manila hospitals — all designed to produce graduates who are not just degree holders, but genuinely competent, examination-ready physicians.
❤️ 2. COMPASSION
Pagmamalasakit — Treating Every Patient and Every Student as a Person, Not a Case
Medicine without compassion is incomplete science. Tamayo Medical University places the human dimension of healthcare at the centre of its curriculum. From the first year of study to the final internship rotation, students are taught to see patients as people — to listen, to understand, and to treat with empathy as well as expertise. For Indian students who will eventually serve communities across India, this value shapes the kind of physician they become long after the degree is awarded.
🤝 3. SERVICE
Paglilingkod — Reaching Out, Making a Difference
The founding spirit of the University of Perpetual Help is captured in four words: reaching out, making a difference. Service — to patients, to communities, to society — is not an extracurricular activity at UPH-DJGTMU. It is the reason the institution exists. Indian graduates of Tamayo Medical University carry this service orientation with them when they return home — into government hospitals, rural healthcare centres, and urban clinics across India where it is needed most.
✅ 4. INTEGRITY
Katapatan — Honesty, Ethics, and Professional Accountability in All Things
The practice of medicine demands unwavering integrity. Tamayo Medical University develops physicians who are honest with their patients, accountable to their profession, and ethical in every clinical and academic decision. For Indian students studying abroad, integrity also means adhering to NMC regulations, maintaining complete and honest documentation, and representing their institution with pride. It is a value that protects patients and careers alike.
💡 5. INNOVATION
Pagbabago — Embracing the Future of Medicine Without Abandoning Its Foundation
Healthcare is changing faster than at any point in human history. Tamayo Medical University prepares students for the medicine of tomorrow — through technology-integrated classrooms, simulation-based clinical training, AI-assisted learning tools, and a curriculum that evolves with global medical standards. Indian students who graduate from UPH-DJGTMU are not just prepared for FMGE — they are prepared for a 40-year medical career in a rapidly changing world.
🌍 6. GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
Pandaigdigang Pagkamamamayan — Building Physicians Who Serve Beyond Borders
Tamayo Medical University graduates are not defined by one nation’s borders. They are physicians who carry globally recognised qualifications — NMC, WHO, ECFMG, USMLE eligible — and the cultural breadth that comes from studying in a diverse, international academic community. For Indian students, this value means that while their primary goal may be to practice in India, their degree and their training open doors across the world. A UPH-DJGTMU graduate is a global physician first.
