The five-day event gathered upcm jubilarians, alumni chapters, and members from around the world for two full days of accredited continuing medical education sessions, along with opportunities to reconnect, celebrate, and strengthen fellowship. Hundreds of attendees participated in academic lectures, networking activities, and social events that fostered camaraderie, professional development, and renewed commitment to upmasa's mission of supporting medical education, service, and unity among up-trained physicians.

Upmasa supported its regional chapters and alumni classes in conducting activities that foster fellowship, continuing education, and engagement with the alma mater. Regional chapters and class reunions or jubilees provided opportunities for alumni to reconnect, celebrate milestones, and raise funds for charitable and educational initiatives. These activities strengthened upmasa's network, reinforced alumni ties, and advanced its mission of service, education, and unity within the global medical community.

During the year, upmasa conducted medical missions to provide healthcare services to underserved populations. Volunteer physicians, nurses, and medical staff offered general medical care to individuals lacking access to adequate healthcare. These missions improved health outcomes and promoted wellness in remote and impoverished communities abroad.
