Located in Manila, the country's capital city, it is the oldest of the seven constituent universities of the University of the Philippines system. Its oldest degree-granting unit is the College of Medicine, which was founded in 1905 as the Philippine Medical School, predating the founding of UP by three years. It is the center of health sciences education in the country, with the establishment of the National Health Sciences Center. It is also a reputable research center in the health sciences in the Asia-Pacific region. It exercises administrative supervision over the Philippine General Hospital (the largest medical center and the national referral center for health in the Philippines). UP Manila is a reputable school of tertiary learning in the health sciences, and more high school students interested in this field apply to it than to any other college or university in the country. , the Commission on Higher Education of the Philippines has identified two Centers of Excellence (COE) in UP Manila. The COEs in the university are medicine and nursing, with the UP College of Medicine as the very first Center of Excellence in Medical Education in the country. It is currently among only five medical institutions to be recognized as Centers of Excellence in Medical Education. ==History== The UP Manila started with the establishment of the Philippine Medical School in 1905. The Philippine Medical School was later integrated into the University of the Philippines and was renamed College of Medicine and Surgery. In 1907, Philippine Commission Act 1688 dated August 17 created the Philippine General Hospital. PGH was eventually linked formally with the CM, with its dean becoming the PGH director. The College of Public Health (CPH), College of Pharmacy (CP) and the College of Dentistry (CD) started as units of CM and eventually became full-fledged colleges in 1932, 1935 and 1948, respectively. During the World War II, the university continued to hold classes in makeshift rooms. After the war, the university transferred to the Diliman campus in 1948, leaving behind the colleges. In 1948, the Board of Regents established the College of Nursing. At the 894th meeting of the Board of Regents on October 28, 1977 and through Presidential Executive Order No. 519 dated January 24, 1979, the Health Science Center was created and recognized as an autonomous campus of the UP System. The then existing units related to the health sciences constituted the Center, with the College of Arts and Sciences Manila transformed into a full-fledged unit and made part of the Center. Through the years, additional colleges, institutes and units were established, such as the School of Allied Medical Professions now the College of Allied Medical Professions (1962), Institute of Ophthalmology (IO, 1965), Institute of Health Sciences (now the School of Health Sciences, 1975) and the National Teacher Training Center for the Health Professions (1975). On October 22, 1982, the Center was renamed UP Manila by virtue of Presidential Executive Order No. 4. In 1988, the Institute for Socio-Biomedical Research (ISBMR) was created to serve as a common administrative and research facility for UP Manila's research units. In 1995, three more units were established to enhance UP Manila's excellence as a center for academic training, research and development - the School of Distance Education, the Graduate Office, now theNational Graduate Office for the Health Sciences, and the Institute of Biotechnology and Molecular Biology (IBMB). With the creation of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on January 26, 1996 to promote the conduct of health research and lead in the utilization of its research findings, the IO, ISBMR and IBMB were made its initial components. A few years after, several other component institutes were created, such as the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Institute of Child Health and Development, Institute of Human Genetics, Institute of Health Policy and Development Studies, and Ear Institute. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of the Philippines Manila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
