The School of Allied Medical Sciences (SAMS) of the University of San Jose-Recoletos is committed to providing quality Christian community-oriented education and to producing globally competent nurses and medical technologists.

History

SAMS (previously called College of Nursing) formally opened its doors to 1,027 nursing students in the first semester of the academic year 2004 – 2005.

In October 2007, SAMS was given a full government recognition by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) through Government Recognition No. 024. The first batch of nursing graduates took the Nursing Licensure Examination with a 100% passing rate on July 24 2008.

The nomenclature of the six colleges in the University of San Jose-Recoletos has been changed effective in the first semester of academic year 2020-2021. This after the School Board approved the said move and a memorandum was issued by the Office of the President on August 7, 2020. Hence, the name "College of Nursing" became "School of Allied Medical Sciences".

The BS Medical Technology program, now called BS Medical Laboratory Science (BSMLS), was first opened in the first semester of AY 2020-2021. It was renamed to BSMLS to meet international medical standards.
