Philippine Medical Association San Diego
About Philippine Medical Association San Diego
Through the years, the Philippine Medical Association San Diego has slowly moved and forged ahead. Membership has grown and enthusiasm continuously abounds among its members as it assisted us move into the mainstream of American life while we maintain our cultural identities and serve people of diverse cultural backgrounds. The group was originally known as Filipino Medical Association and in August 30, 2011 through the Articles of Incorporation, the name was amended to Philippine Medical Association of San Diego. Since its inception, it has been and continues to be a non profit public Benefit Corporation with charitable purposes.
The history of the Association started in the late 1978. The Association has also initiated helping some deserving students who want to pursue a medical career in the Philippines while it offers mentorship to Filipino medical students in San Diego County. The Association also undertakes yearly Medical Missions serving the underprivileged Filipinos in several underserved areas in the Philippines. The association also cooperates with the Paradise Valley International Medical Mission in doing medical missions in other selected countries.
As years went by, changes in the landscape of the city and its people occurred, so, too, did our membership. Some members moved to other places, some retired to outside states, others got transferred and others joined our Creator. As new generations of doctors move in or grow in the city, the officers and members make sure that the Association is open to them. Hence, the membership continuously grows. And we are all proud to be a member of our own Association, the Philippine Medical Association of San Diego.
The Philippine Medical Association of San Diego recognizes with respect and gratitude all its esteemed Founding Fathers, all its Past Presidents and all those who have served the Association unconditionally and made it to what it is today – Association of active and retired Filipino and Filipino-American medical professionals adhering to standards of excellence, service and integrity, and dedicated in advancing the legacy and mission of the Association.
PMASD stands up for San Diegan physicians by providing distinctive solutions to the challenges they encounter in the care of patients.
