History

Matias H. Aznar Memorial College of Medicine, Inc. (MHAM CM Inc.) is a non-stock educational institution established in the summer of 1946 with its founders, Don Matias Hipolito Aznar II and his wife Doña Anunciacion Barcenilla Aznar. In the school year 1946-1947, the Doctor of Medicine Program was opened with full government recognition of the Doctor of Medicine Program, granted by the Department of Education in 1952 and the enactment of the Medical Act of 1965 by the Philippine Congress requiring all medical colleges in the country to be converted into a non-profit and non-stock educational institution. Thus, the Doctor of Medicine Program was converted and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in May 26, 1970, under the corporate name Matias H. Aznar Memorial College of Medicine Inc. (MHAM CM, Inc.) and was given a unique institutional identifier number 7071 by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED).[1] Today, it is named to honor and perpetuate the memory of its late founder, Matias Hipolito Aznar II, known to the general public as MHAM CM. It has assumed the operation of the Doctor of Medicine as its only Program offering and has functioned separately from Southwestern University PHINMA.

Soon will permanently be located at R. Duterte Street Banawa, Cebu City, the Matias H. Aznar Memorial College of Medicine fulfills the vision of its founder and is still committed to provide quality education with quality educators in the field of medicine both in the country and across the globe. The futuristic memorial building will also pave way for the school to open for paramedical courses for S.Y. 2017-2018.
