CEBU: HOME OF THE COBRAS

Cebu, a bustling metropolis and a tropical, tourist paradise in Central Philippines, is the home of Southwestern University PHINMA School of Medicine. The city boasts the unique duality of modern high rise buildings and shopping malls set amid a backdrop of white sandy beaches barely thirty minutes away. Its strategic location right in the middle of the country makes Cebu an accessible education hub and center of commerce in Southern Philippines. Known throughout the nation as the Queen City of the South, Cebu is steeped in the history and culture of the country with representations of Spanish, Chinese and Malay traces in food, language and architecture. 

The School of Medicine sits right at the center of Cebu conveniently located near major thoroughfares, medical facilities, shops, restaurants and museums. In 2019, Cebu was named one of the safest cities in Southeast Asia by Numbeo, a crowd – sourced global database of world statistics. With its ideal location and learning environment, SoM has become a preferred institution for students from the country and around the world pursuing their dream to access quality medical education on their way to become the best doctors.
