UDM Celebrates 27th Clinical Graduation for Nursing and Physical Therapy — A New Wave of Future Healthcare Providers Ready to Serve

On July 15, 2025, Universidad De Manila (UDM) proudly held its 27th Clinical Graduation for Nursing and Physical Therapy at Palma Hall, honoring the achievements of 144 Level II Nursing Students and 44 Physical Therapy Students. Supported by 7 full-time CHS faculty, 21 part-time nursing educators, and over 250 parents and guests, the ceremony marked the official transition of Batch Hiraya from academic training to clinical service.

With the theme “Miles behind, moments ahead: Honing excellence, compassion, and dedication in healthcare,” the celebration recognized not just formal completion of clinical requirements, but the emotional and moral transformation of students into healthcare professionals ready to serve.

Aligned with SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being, this milestone represents UDM’s active role in strengthening the country’s healthcare workforce pipeline. Each graduate stands prepared to serve in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and community health facilities—responding to the continuing national demand for trained and ethical medical professionals.

As the graduates donned their uniforms with pride, the message of the day was clear: this is not the end—it is the first step toward lifelong service. Their journey ahead carries not just a career opportunity, but a calling to heal, uplift, and protect life.
