Institute of Medicine (IOM)

The undergraduate medical programme, MBBS, started in 1978 and since then has admitted 626 students 19 batches of which 386 have graduate and are providing health care in about fifty districts of Nepal.

The programme admits 43 Nepalese students and foreigners as pass the criteria met by IOM. Students each academic year into four and a half-year's course of study divided into three phases; in addition, it has a year of compulsory rotating internship, thus totaling the programme of five and a half years duration.

Medical education is community orientated, based on integrated and problem based learning. The curriculum thus reflects innovation in undergraduate medical education. Early exposure of the learners to community medicine and beside medical science and medical ethics clinical teaching not only helps learners to make them aware of the importance of the course of study, but also enables them to become motivated towards self-learning. Placement in the community surrounding that are located in the mountain, the hills and the plains of Nepal gives ample opportunities to learners to be accustomed to the reality that exists in the community and prevents them from the reality shock, on being posted to the real-life situation after graduation.
