In 2024, the USTMAAA Foundation proudly executed a $1 million deed of donation to fund the state-of-the-art CME auditorium in UST’s Saints Cosmas and Damian Center for Simulation and Research.

This transformative investment, part of our legacy for UST’s 150th anniversary, empowers medical students, interns, and residents with hands-on training in a controlled environment. From virtual surgery modules to diagnostic ultrasound integration, the center equips future physicians with skills to excel in a rapidly evolving medical landscape.
Along the with Simulation Lab, the building houses a state-of-the art auditorium dedicated to gatherings and continuing medical education. It will be permanently and irrevocably named as the USTMAAA CME Auditorium. Blessing took place on January 16, 2025, officiated by Rev. Fr. Rector Richard Ang, O.P. A wall of honor graces the center. This firmly establishes the legacy we have begun, and will continue to grow and thrive for generations to come.
