Institute of Midwifery
The KLD Institute of Midwifery (IOM) continues its commitment to excellence in healthcare education as Level 2 and 3 students successfully concluded their clinical rotation duties for the first semester of Academic Year 2025-2026. Under the guidance of their Clinical Instructors, these aspiring midwives transitioned from the classroom to the frontlines, applying their studies to the demanding environment of professional healthcare.
The program leveraged a wide network of affiliated partners and clinical areas to provide a comprehensive training ground. Students were deployed to various departments within the Pagamutan Ng Dasmariñas, gaining exposure to the Outpatient Department (OPD), Emergency Room (ER), and the high-stakes environments of the Delivery Room (DR), OB Ward, and Operating Room (OR). To ensure a well-rounded perspective on maternal and community health, the rotations also included stints at the City Health Office 1 Lying-In Clinic, as well as the Barangay Health Stations in Sta. Lucia, Burol, and Sta. Cristina.
These clinical rotations offer students the hands-on experience required to navigate real-world medical settings. By working in supervised, professional environments, the students moved beyond theoretical knowledge to master essential clinical skills. This phase of their education focused on direct patient care, including accurate history-taking, thorough physical examinations, and the refinement of various procedural techniques. Beyond technical proficiency, the rotations served as a space for developing communication and teamwork skills, as students worked alongside established healthcare teams to deliver patient-centered care.
The KLD IOM approach focuses on preparing the "heart, hands, and head" of every student, ensuring they are holistically ready for the responsibilities of the profession. As these Level 2 and 3 students finish their first semester duties, they carry forward the practical wisdom and confidence gained from the field. These experiences are important in shaping them into the next generation of professional midwives who will serve as essential frontliners in the community's healthcare system.
‘’Institute of Nursing
The KLD Institute of Nursing (ION) continues to broaden the horizon for its nursing students by securing a network of clinical affiliations. These partnerships are designed to bridge the gap between classroom instruction and the complex realities of the healthcare field, ensuring that KLD nursing students graduate with the technical proficiency and clinical judgment required for medical practice.
At the core of these affiliations is the Pagamutan ng Dasmariñas, which serves as a primary training ground for students to immerse themselves in specialized areas. Within this facility, nursing students are deployed to high-intensity units including the Emergency Room (ER), Operating Room (OR), and the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The exposure extends to maternal and child health through rotations in the Delivery Room, Nursery, and Pediatric Wards, while also covering specialized services such as Hemodialysis and the Outpatient Department (OPD). This diverse range of environments allows students to witness and participate in the full spectrum of patient care, from acute trauma to chronic disease management.
Through collaborations with City Health Offices (CHO 1-4) and various local health centers, students gain firsthand experience in public health initiatives and community-based nursing. Furthermore, partnerships with institutions like the Greenbreeze Home for the Aged and the Father Saturnino Lopez Home Center provide a dedicated space for students to develop skills in long-term care and support, reflecting a holistic approach to nursing education that values the dignity of patients at every stage of life.
The ION’s reach also extends into the private sector and specialized medical centers. Current Memorandums of Agreement (MOA) are active with institutions such as the Imus Family Hospital, Dasmariñas City Medical Center, and the Asia Medic Family Hospital & Medical Center. These facilities offer students a look into different organizational structures and healthcare delivery models, further sharpening their adaptability.
Looking toward the future, the Institute is actively expanding its network, with ongoing affiliation processes for several major regional institutions. These include the City of General Trias Doctors Medical Center, Silang Specialists Medical Center, and specialized national facilities such as San Lazaro Hospital and the Philippine Orthopedic Center. By continuously growing its list of partners, the KLD Institute of Nursing ensures that its students remain at the forefront of the profession, ready to serve as competent and compassionate healthcare providers in any setting they encounter.
