Recognizing that medical education is still inaccessible to many, AFI seeks to award scholarships annually to deserving young men and women from low-income families to gain access to quality medical education at the university.
This program covers every scholar’s tuition, miscellaneous fees, boarding, books, and meal allowance until the completion of their courses.
We aim to strengthen the interface between classroom learning and the real-life clinical experience of our medical students with the construction of the Center for Simulation and Research, which will be housed in the Henry Sy Sr. Hall, and the renovation of the St. Martin de Porres Medicine building.
AFI shall continue to assist or create partnerships and programs to support and improve our equipment and facilities.

The UST-FMS stands out as a leading institution in Philippine medical education. Its hallmark lies in its relentless pursuit of innovation within its curriculum. Research is integral, empowering students to engage in projects spanning Anatomy, Pharmacology, Preventive Medicine, and Clinical Epidemiology.
Recognizing this pivotal role, both the Research Center for Health Science and the Oversight Committee of Research within FMS have devised strategic initiatives to enhance research productivity.
Fostering a supportive environment for research is paramount for cultivating a vibrant research culture within the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. While the FMS serves as a fertile ground for research, there remains ample opportunity for advancement. It’s imperative that researchers transcend the “publish or perish” mindset, directing their efforts toward addressing the myriad health challenges confronting Filipino society.
Anargyroi: FMS Foundation, Inc.(AFI) commits itself to advancing and maintaining academic excellence in medical education for the benefit of the UST-FMS community and future Thomasian doctors.
