In the same school year, 1975-1976, the IDH School opened a Liberal Arts
Department. As a consequence, the IDH School of Nursing and Midwifery was
granted college status and formally became the present ILOILO DOCTORS
COLLEGE after due approval by the Department of Education (now CHED) and the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The School was therefore now able to offer
another baccalaureate program, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Course, during
the same year and the General Nursing (G.N.) program was gradually phased out.
The ensuring years from 1976 to 1981 saw the offering of new courses
and programs mostly in the paramedical health fields, such as the BSN
Supplemental Course, Health Aide, Radiologic Technology, B.S. Biological Science
(Pre-Medicine) and Pre-Dentistry. In addition, other courses were also opened,
namely, B.S. Social Work, B.S. Tourism, High School, and Kindergarten. Later,
several of the above course in Biological Science, Nursing, Radiologic Technology,
Midwifery, and
Pre-Dentistry, Medical Secretarial and Health Aide courses
remained.
In June 1982, the School of Dentistry was opened to meet the need for
dentists in this part of the country. It was set up at the extension campus on
Timawa Avenue where the College Gymnasium is located. The School graduated
its first dentists on April 1, 1986.
ix
Additional instructional laboratories and offices of the College of Medicine and the
IECI were built. Early in 1983, a three-storey concrete building which was
constructed on the South Timawa Campus was later assigned to the College of
Nursing.
In 2000, the college opened its door to pre-school and kindergarten with
the opening of the Child Learning Center.
In 2004, with increasing number of nursing students, the College
constructed another three storey building in the nursing campus which also houses the midwifery lying in clinic.
In 2005, a covered gymnasium was also built in the nursing campus
which serves as a venue for co-curricular activities of the college such as literary
musical contest; it has also been a place for Regional PRISAA meet.
In 2006, construction of the three storey building intended for additional
classrooms that will cater to the increasing population of the college. This building
will also serve as the new home of the Administration Offices such as the Business
Office, Cashier, Office of the Student and Alumni Affairs, Registrars Office,
Executive Offices, Office of the Administration and the new Board Room and Main
Library. The Classrooms are operational and the Main Library located at the 3 rd
floor began its construction last March 2011 while the Administrative Offices are
being worked towards completion.
In 2011, IDC announced its new opening of its new courses: Bachelor of
Science in Psychology (under the College of Arts and Sciences) and Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration which specialized in Human Resource
Development Management and Financial Management (under the College of
Business Administration formerly the College of Commerce). The Child Learning
Center was granted authority to operate the Elementary Level Grades I and II for
the School Year 2011-2012.
There have been quite a number of the IDC graduates who figured
remarkably in their respective licensure examinations and are successful in their
respective professional fields, both public and private.
