Read our President's message on the proposed amendment to the Constitution and By-Laws (CBL).
Dr. Gregorio Patacsil, U.P. ’59, professor of medicine and cardiology, UERM’S first chief resident in medicine (1962), well respected cardiologist in the Philippines, beloved mentor, physician and friend to so many, succumbed to a heart ailment while giving a lecture at the Philippine Heart Association on Saturday morning, March 5, 2011.
Stunned alumni at an email forum expressed their sorrow and tributes to a towering figure who had not only taught them well but inspired them to become good, compassionate and caring doctors.
His remains are to be cremated on Thursday, March 10, 2011. “Manong Greg” as many fondly called him was a native of Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur in Northern Philippines. He is survived by his wife Winnie and daughter Norma. His legacy is in the heart of all of us who knew him. May he rest in peace!

In the comparative performance report shared by the dean, UERMMMC’s performance of 74% (34 out of 46) ranks the school 3rd behind St. Luke’s Medical Center (88%) and Ateneo de Zamboanga (81%) in the 9 schools with 25-49 candidates taking the exams. De La Salle University topped the 50-99 group with a passing of 67%. Thirty-nine (39) medical schools fielded candidates for the 3-day exams. Three (3) schools registered zero passing, while six (6) obtained 100%.
