In 2004, the Cebu Doctors' University College of Pharmacy (CDU-CP) was established. And in 2016, the Cebu Doctors' University Senior High School (CDU-SHS) was set up under the CDU-CAS.

Great!

probably the worst ER experience ever. walked in with severe abdominal pain & the runs (diarrhea). i was accommodated quickly (surprisingly). told the doctor and nurses what happened & they had me take a pee, poop, & blood test. all of the results came back negative. they could not diagnose me. had a scorching fever so they gave me medicine for that & some rehydration salts in a sachet (my fever went away and came back after a few hours scorching hot again). NOTHING FOR MY RUNS. the water helped me but i still had the runs for a long time. you’re better off seeing a doctor at a clinic or if you do go into the ER pick your doctor and pick them wisely.

Great college

Conservative and up to date school. Expensive and often frustrating with the service at times due to some employees hating to get worked up by your situation: such as my one classmate who needed to transfer because the registrar couldn’t enroll him to the upper year since he was a foreign student and when I enrolled my masters, they kept complaining. Bureaucratic and often rigid. However, students are encouraged to excel and are top notch.
