On the day of its founding until the early nineties, the MCU-FDT MEDICAL FOUNDATION did not have its own college seal. It used the university seal for its official functions.

Upon its conversion to a foundation on June 28, 1971, and its full accreditation by the Association of Philippine Medical Colleges, the administrative officials thought of designing its own college seal.

Vice-President for Administration Mrs. Luningning T. Estanislao, Dean Lutgarda C. Quito, and Medical Director Esperanza F. Rivera joined together to conceptualize the college seal. Finally, in the late eighties a college seal came into being.

The seal contains a triangle within which a caduceus. The triangle is further enclosed by a circle with MCU-Filemon D. Tanchoco College of Medicine 1947 clearly printed in the ring encircling it.

The three sides of the triangle have a two-fold significance. First, the three sides represent the three components of the Mission-Vision of MCU-FDTMF: 1) Education, 2) Patient Care and Community Service and 3) Research. Second, the three sides also stand for the three equally important sectors of the College: 1) the Administration, 2) the Faculty and other personnel and 3) the Alumni and Students. Together they work to make the Mission-Vision of the College a reality.
