Our Lady of Mercy College - Bacolod (OLMC-B) is a private medical college in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Philippines. The college is owned and managed by the Bacolod Our Lady of Mercy Specialty Hospital (BOLMSH), which serves as its training and teaching facility. It is the second school affiliated with a teaching hospital to be established in Bacolod City, the first being Riverside College, Inc.[1]
The school was established early in 2008 when the management of the Bacolod Our Lady of Mercy Specialty Hospital decided to make further use of their hospital facilities for purposes other than providing medical care. To this end, a college for Nursing was established to begin operating during the 2008-2009 school year.[1] The school will initially offer a degree course in Nursing, a one-year certificate program in Nursing and a six-month certificate program for caregivers.[1]
