by Dr. Ricardo Alfonso as Director, it would cater to the students of the IM, and later, the Institute of Nursing. A new beginning In 1971, the Institute of Medicine embarked on a huge change. Together with the School of Medical Technology and the FEU Hospital, IM was re-constructed and made into a non-stock, non-profit educational foundation. Named after the university's founder, the Far Eastern University - Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF) was established. With the installation of its Board of Trustees, chaired by Nicanor M. Reyes Jr., FEU-NRMF gained full independence of its operations and management from the main university. FEU-NRMF would then transfer its classes from the Science Building to two buildings adjacent to the FEU Hospital (one being the Girls' High Building) and renovated them to fit the needs for medical education. In 1995, due to the lack of space and the need of expansion of the institution, the Board of Trustees approved the relocation of FEU-NRMF to a lot in Fairview, Quezon City, with a new campus and hospital planned to be constructed. FEU-NRMF Institute of Medicine Operated by the foundation, the FEU-NRMF Institute of Medicine continues its tradition and excellence, serving as a premier medical school in the country. Academics Aside from its core Doctor of Medicine program, FEU-NRMF Institute of Medicine offers seven undergraduate programs in health sciences and the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics track (STEM) in their Senior High School program.
