The National Teacher Training Center for the Health Professions or NTTCHP is the second youngest college of UP Manila. It was founded on 30 January 1975 by the UP Board of Regents in recognition of the need for professional training of health professionals to engage in effective teaching, research, and extension service.

Since the first semester of 1980–1981, NTTCHP became a degree-granting graduate college of UP Manila when it started to offer the Master in Health Professions Education (MHPEd) degree. From first semester 2001–2002, the curriculum evolved into a ladder-type post graduate program from the Basic Course in Health Professions Education (BCHPEd), to the Diploma (DHPEd), and the MHPEd. As of the end of second semester 2021-2022, the college has graduated 55 BCHPEd, 153 DHPEd and 210 MHPEd.

In 2020, the Doctor of Health Professions Education program (DrHPEd) was approved. In September of the same year the ladder-type program was revised and became two master's programs, the Master in Health Professions Education (Professional track) and the Master of Arts in Health Professions Education (Academic track).
