private university in Philippines
Far Eastern University – Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation, also referred to as FEU-NRMF, is a non-stock, non-profit medical foundation located at Regalado Ave., West Fairview, Quezon City in the Philippines. The institution operates a medical school and is related to, but independent from, Far Eastern University in Manila.
Brief history
Upon the establishment and incorporation of the Far Eastern University in 1934, it has always been a part of FEU founder Dr. Nicanor B. Reyes, Sr.'s vision to set up a medical school alongside the university. This vision finally materialized years after his death.
Establishment as an Institute
In 1952, the Board of Trustees, under the chairmanship of Jose Cojuangco, commissioned a Medical School Committee to recruit faculty members and establish the institute. Faculties were contacted and equipment and facilities were readied. By June, the Far Eastern University Institute of Medicine (IM) formally opened its doors to its first students. The IM settled in the third to seventh floors of the Science Building within the campus.
