One of their notable accomplishments for this academic year is being the host of “Palarong Medisina”, an annual sports competition also under APMC-SL that involves medical schools in the Metro Manila region. This event marks its first occurrence since the pandemic so all the participating schools were really in such high spirits.

As we celebrate this 4-peat, we start to look forward to the next group of eager leaders who will surely have the same zeal for excellence.
