Learning extended the walls of the classroom and the laboratory. Our students get to participate in intensive clinical rotation in both the hospital and the community. The Philippine General Hospital, the teaching hospital of the University of the Philippines Manila, is a 1,500 bed national referral hospital where our students hone their clinical competencies. We also partner with Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Medical Center and the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine for our students rotation in their maternal and child nursing, and infectious disease rotation, respectively. For the community rotation, we partner with the Manila Health Department (for urban community rotation) and the Province of Cavite (for the rural rotation).
