Founded and formally inaugurated during the 19th anniversary celebration of the Manila Doctors Hospital in 1975 and first known as the MDH School of Nursing, the Manila Doctors College was originally located at the fourth floor of the Manila Doctors Hospital along United Nations Avenue. Some of its founding members include Dr. Gonzalo F. Austria, Dr. Fidel Estrada, Dr. Jose Villanueva and other members of the Board of Directors of the Hospital. Among the pioneers who charted its initial direction was Mrs. Cristeta T. Patajo, the first principal, and her assistant, Mrs. Velma Iñigo. [1]

Initially offering a three-year Graduate Nursing course, the first batch of 154 freshmen qualified from about 500 applicants. Out of this number, 130 qualified for the sophomore year. A year later, the first batch of graduates of this program, now numbering only 118 because of the College's selective retention policy, took the government board examination, in which one of its graduates landed in 8th place. In the same year, a permit to offer the four-year B.S. Nursing course and the four-year Liberal Arts course was granted by the Department of Education. [1]

The College marked a major milestone in its history when the Metrobank Foundation acquired control of the Manila Medical Services, Inc. in February 1979. With the takeover, a new set of hospital directors was elected, headed by Dr. George S. K. Ty as Chairman and Mr. Edgardo Espiritu as President. The College as a result, saw prompt expansion and development. A new, three-storey facility was constructed to house more classrooms, laboratories and administrative offices. [1]
