UP College of Medicine Faculty Association Report

The UP College of Medicine Faculty Association or UPCM Faculty Association is the faculty organization mandated by the College to promote camaraderie, fellowship, and social interaction among the faculty through various faculty initiatives directed towards professional and academic advancement. It was revitalized in 2019 during the start of Dean Charlotte M. Chiong’s term. The UPCM Faculty Association assists the newly appointed faculty for their smooth assimilation to the UPCM family. It provides assistance to the College during the recognition of faculty’s achievement in honoring its retiring faculty. On 2 August 2019, the UPCM Faculty Association held its first “Faculty Welcome Ceremony 2019” for the new faculty members. It assisted the College in recognizing the contributions of its retiring faculty by providing the statuettes of the Triumph of Science over Death (Scientia) or commonly known as “Lady Med”. It also contributed to the UPCM Faculty Assistance Fund for those faculty affected by COVID-19 during the pandemic.
