The department of Obstetrics and Gynecology was established in 1957 after the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center College of Medicine was founded in 1956. Since then, the department has played an important role in the holistic education of medical students, and training of specialists and we have produced world class doctors and Obstetrician Gynecologists who have also become pillars of the profession in the Philippines.
