The Far Eastern University - Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation or FEU-NRMF Institute of Medicine is one of the pioneer medical schools in the Philippines.

History

FEU-NRMF was founded by Dr. Nicanor Reyes, Sr.. On October 22, 1955, the FEU Hospital opened its doors as a charitable institution and provided hospital training for students in medicine and nursing. It was erected on a trapezoidal lot at the northeastern part of the campus in Morayta Street (now Nicanor Reyes Sr. Avenue). It was built and equipped at a cost of ₱1.5 million and designed by architect Felipe Mendoza in collaboration with the hospital committee chaired by Lauro Panganiban, M.D., Nicanor Reyes, Jr., Angel Palanca, and Ricardo Alfonso, M.D., who later became the first hospital director.

Fe del Mundo, M.D., later named as National Scientist, headed the Department of Pediatrics; Carlos Sevilla, M.D., chaired the Ophthalmology Department; Gloria Aragon, M.D., the OB-GYN Department; Liborio Gomez, M.D., the Pathology Department; Jose Tirona, M.D., the X-Ray Department; Perpetuo Gutierrez, M.D., the Medicine Department; Jesus Nolasco, M.D., the Physiology Department.

In 1970, the Institute of Medicine, School of Medical Technology, FEU Hospital and the Student Health Service Clinic were converted into a non-stock, non-profit educational foundation known as the FEU Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation.
