     In 1988, the College opened its doors to offer the degree of Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. It was in 1991 when the College was finally granted full recognition by the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS) to offer all levels of the five year Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy program.

In 1992, the college produced its 1st batch of 26 graduates, 25 of whom took the succeeding Board Exams. All of them passed, with graduates placing no. 2, 4 & 13. The following year, the 1st batch of students who started their freshmen year in 1988, took the board with a 92.72% passing rate, placing no. 1, 6, and 8.
In its short span of existence, the college continued to maintain its lofty position among the top three P.T. schools in the Philippines, closely breathing down the neck of older schools, e.g. UP and UST. In fact, in 1996, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), in a press release cited UERM College of Physical Therapy as the best P.T. school in the Philippines.
For the past years, the college has been offering post-graduate courses as part of its continuing pursuit of producing world-class physical therapists. One of its guest speakers, Dr. David James Magee, a renowned professor at the University of Alberta and author of Orthopedic Physical Assessment (a textbook for physical therapy students) is now a visiting professor of the College of P.T.
After 11 years, the school is now 100% staffed by faculty who were graduates from our own PT program.
