The official logo of the U.P. College of Medicine was designed by Dr. Nestor S. Bautista of the Department of Anatomy. Using the pseudonym โ€œTarregaโ€, he bested other entries submitted by students, other faculty members and employees of the College in a contest held in preparation for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1982.

The oblation in the seal has a two-fold significance. First, it identifies the College of Medicine as part of an academic institution, the University of the Philippines. Secondly, the figure signifies the ultimate goal of medicine- that of man rising from the shackles of disease.

The five intertwined rings represent each of the five principal units of the erstwhile Health Sciences Center and their interdependence on one another.

The staff of Aesculapius, the physicianโ€™s symbol, divides the year 1905 to signify the UPCMโ€™s establishment which antedated the creation of the University.

Written in old Tagalog script above the oblation are Agham, Kalinangan,Damdamin (Science, Culture, Empathy), the motto of the U.P. College of Medicine.
