Philippine College of Physicians

The Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) is an umbrella organization, formed in 1952, of internists in the Philippines. It was founded by Dr. Gonzalo F. Austria

Its three main aims are:

# Continuing medical education of internists and other physicians;
# Certification and Regulation of the Subspecialty of Internal Medicine;
# Accreditation and Certification of the Training Programs for Internal Medicine in the Philippines.

An Affiliate Society of Philippine Medical Association (PMA)

The PCP is an affiliate society of the Philippine Medical Association and a member-society of the International Society of Internal Medicine.

The College has a total of 6,318 members composed of Fellows, Diplomates and Affiliate Members. The title of Diplomate in Internal Medicine is awarded by the PCP to an internist who has fulfilled all the requirements set by the Philippine Specialty Board of Internal Medicine which administers the certifying examinations annually.
