           In line with the concept of medical education as a continuous and life-long process and in keeping with her mission and vision, the Faculty of Medicine & Surgery has pioneered in providing medical   educational facilities and services to graduate physicians.
           In 1971, in a year-long celebration of the centennial of its foundation, the Faculty organized monthly postgraduate courses, each course undertaken by a different department or discipline. It was also during that year that the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery started its pioneering project of presenting graduate courses outside of the medical school.
          In 1979, the Office of Continuing Medical Education was created to coordinate and supervise all efforts, plans and programs of the different departments on continuing medical education and to attend to all their official needs in these activities. It was also tasked to initiate more activities for continuing medical education. The CME gives emphasis on the integration of bioethical consideration and the Thomasian school of thought in the course content of each and every postgraduate program.
          Largely from contributions of the Medicine Class 1967, a long-standing dream of the CME came to fruition with the completion in December 1992 of a Postgraduate Courses and other related scientific activities, it is fully air-conditioned auditorium-type conference room  with a seating capacity of 329. It is equipped with the state-of the-art audio visual and electronic multimedia facilities.
