At Our Lady of Assumption Medical Training College (OLA MTC), we believe that being a healthcare professional is more than just acquiring technical skills—it’s about embodying compassion and empathy in every patient interaction. As healthcare becomes more advanced, the human touch remains an indispensable element of care.
Why Compassion Matters
Compassionate care fosters trust and healing. Patients often come to healthcare providers at their most vulnerable, and it’s the responsibility of the healthcare professional to not only provide medical solutions but also emotional comfort and support.
At OLA MTC, we emphasize the importance of compassion in our curriculum. From classroom discussions to hands-on training at St. Mary’s Mission Hospital, students are encouraged to understand their patients as people first. This holistic approach helps our graduates stand out in their careers, providing both exceptional medical care and kindness to those in need.
How We Teach Compassion
- Patient-Centred Learning: Our programs, including the Diploma in Kenya Registered Community Health Nursing (KRCHN) and Pre-operative Technician courses, incorporate patient-centred care principles to ensure our students focus on the needs and feelings of their patients.
- Ethical Training: We instil strong moral values of honesty, integrity, and accountability—core pillars of OLA MTC’s mission.
- Community Engagement: Students participate in community outreach and health programs, allowing them to practice compassionate care in real-world settings.
