University of the Philippines Manila College of Nursing The College of Nursing is a constituent unit of the University of the Philippines Manila located in Ermita, Manila and known for producing nursing leaders in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia. The college engages with national bodies such as the Department of Health (Philippines) and international organizations including the World Health Organization and the International Council of Nurses to align curricula and practice standards. Its programs have links with regional partners like the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation network and institutions such as University of Santo Tomas and Ateneo de Manila University.
The college traces roots to postwar reorganization involving the University of the Philippines System and health initiatives by the Philippine Rehabilitation Commission and the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA), established amid reconstruction efforts after World War II. Early collaborations involved the Philippine General Hospital and directives from the Commonwealth of the Philippines transitioning into the independent Republic of the Philippines. Over decades the college has been influenced by policy from CHED and professional standards from the Professional Regulation Commission (Philippines), while participating in regional exchanges with universities such as Chulalongkorn University and National University of Singapore.
The college offers undergraduate and graduate programs including the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Master of Science in Nursing, and doctoral studies that prepare graduates for roles in hospitals like Philippine General Hospital and agencies such as the Department of Health (Philippines). Specializations and continuing education align with accreditation frameworks from CHED and professional certification through the Professional Regulation Commission (Philippines), and coursework references standards from bodies like the World Health Organization and the International Council of Nurses. Cooperative programs and student exchanges have been arranged with institutions including University of the Philippines Diliman, Johns Hopkins University, and University of Toronto.
Admission processes correspond with university-wide systems including the University of the Philippines College Admission Test and selection procedures that mirror requirements of the CHED and licensing prerequisites of the Professional Regulation Commission (Philippines). The college maintains program recognition and accreditation from national agencies and engages in benchmarking with international accrediting bodies and partner schools like Kyoto University and Harvard University via memorandum agreements and joint initiatives.
Research at the college focuses on public health, community health nursing, and health policy with collaborations involving the Department of Health (Philippines), the National Institutes of Health (Philippines), and international funders such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and United Nations Children's Fund. Research centers and units coordinate with entities including the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development and partner with global research hubs like the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the University of Washington. Topics have included disaster nursing linked to experiences with the Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), infectious disease responses related to COVID-19 pandemic, and health systems projects tied to Universal Health Care (Philippines) legislation.
Clinical training is conducted in major referral and teaching hospitals such as the Philippine General Hospital, Dr. Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center, and the National Children’s Hospital, as well as local government hospitals in Metro Manila and regional centers like Southern Philippines Medical Center.
