Our Why
There has been a noticeable decline in the number of patients in the clinical division, which has, in turn, reduced the clinical exposure of our clerks. In 2023, with the support of USTMAA America, an initiative was launched to address this issue. For two consecutive years, they have championed an in-house medical and surgical mission every January, benefitting approximately 30–40 surgical and medical indigent patients each month. The impact is undeniable.Now, imagine this with us: a vision of a 90% no-billing clinical division within the next 3–4 years—where we heal those in need while shaping the future of Tomasino healers. Together, this dream can become a reality.
Who We Are
We are who we are—doctors, leaders, agents of change—all shaped by the University of Santo Tomas. It gave us more than knowledge; it gave us purpose.But with what we have received comes a profound responsibility. Today, indigent patients walk through the same halls we once did, desperately seeking care they cannot afford. Alongside them are students, the healers of tomorrow, walking those same halls—eager to learn but in need of our support to fulfill their dreams.Think back to when we were students—those first days in the clinical division, the confusion, the grueling 24-hour shifts, the demanding residents, and the eight-hour duties that followed. Remember how we felt, how we smelled going home after it all.Someone invested in us—their time, their trust, their lives, and their limbs. Because of that, we stand here today as healers. Now, it’s our turn to give back.
Thank You
