The Manila Adventist Medical Center and Colleges, Inc. is a private coeducational Christian tertiary health sciences institution. The campus is located adjacent to its own private hospital the Manila Adventist Medical Center within the city of Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Both the colleges and hospital are run by the Seventh-day Adventist Church of the Philippines. Since the colleges are integrated with the hospital, it does not have an independent name to refer to itself distinctively from the hospital hence it assumes the name "Manila Adventist Medical Center and Colleges".

History

The colleges were first established as a school in 1993. It was incorporated with its parent hospital, the Manila Sanitarium Hospital, upon its establishment, thus adding the hospital name with a “school of medical arts” (SMA).

In its opening year, the college offered five vocational and allied health courses: three year Associate in Radiologic Technology, two year Midwifery, two year Physical Therapy technician, one year courses in Nursing Assistant and Emergency Medicine Technician.

After a year, the college wished to upgrade its Physical Therapy Technician and the Associate in Radiologic Technician into a 5 year and 4 year Bachelors' degree. The college wrote to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) asking for the authority to implement the upgrade which was agreed on, and the upgraded courses were offered in school year 1995-1996.

In 1995, the college expanded its grounds by constructing a three-storey building with a capacity of six classrooms, five laboratory rooms and two offices. The building was finished in 1996.

In 2000 the college introduced two new programs: the six months Caregiver Program and the four year B.S. in Nursing degree. The hospital and school were renamed from Manila Sanitarium Hospital to Manila Adventist Medical Center in 2002 and from School of Medical arts to Colleges in 2007.
