Doña Remedios Trinidad Romualdez Medical Foundation
About Doña RTR Medical Foundation
Founded in 1980 through the sustaining initiative of Leyte Governor Benjamin Romualdez, the major thrust of the college is to train students to a high level of competence primarily as health-care physicians not only in the region but in other depressed areas as well.
Strongly guided by its basic philosophy that medical care is God’s given right to all people, it upholds its belief that good health is essential to the preservation of the Philippines’ integrity as a nation. It also believes that health maintenance is not only an institutional concern of hospitals, medical centers, and colleges, but of all people, and is a basic requirement to growth and prosperity. As a learning institution, it strongly believes in quality medical education, and thus, carefully selects its students and faculty with a long tradition of service and excellence in mind.

As a learning institution, it strongly believes in quality medical education, and thus, carefully selects its students and faculty with a long tradition of service and excellence in mind. The college includes the usual departments: gross-clinical anatomy, biochemistry and human nutrition, physiology, pathology, microbiology and parasitology, pharmacology and therapeutics, preventive and community medicine, surgery, pediatrics, medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and EENT. Each department is headed and staffed by a highly-competent chairman with equally competent and complementing leading practitioners and professors.
The four-year curriculum of the college leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine has always been geared and designed to afford its students a firm grasp of the basic sciences, enriched and reinforced by actual clinical training.
In pursuit thereof, the College operates on a consortium, availing of the facilities and expertise of medical practitioners and specialists from the Makati Medical Center, the University of the Philippines Institute of Health Sciences, and the Bethany Hospital, to mention but a few, to provide its students the most advanced medical technology in the country with a good balance in community medicine under the tutelage of highly competent medical mentors.
The first building of the school was located in a six-hectare lot, a twin-storey brick building that faces the major thoroughfares of Justice Romualdez and Sto. Niño Streets.
