In 2010, the school was renamed anew as the Makati Medical Center College of Nursing to underscore its commitment to first-rate nursing education.
Bisnar says MMCC has expanded its specialization to include Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology.
In addition, new certificate courses have been introduced such as Associate in Health Science Education, Healthcare Services, Emergency Medical Services, Complementary and Integrative Medicine, Pallative and Hospice Care, and a Nurse Managers Enhancement Program.
According to Bisnar, MMCC, since 2003, has been accredited by the Philippine Accreditation Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) as an institution that provides first-rate education.
The objective of these new offerings is for the students to have a holistic and globally competitive healthcare education and training which is responsive to the times and attuned to the latest medical systems and procedure,” Bisnar said.
