Kasturba Medical College
(KMC) consistently ranks among the top five medical schools in India,
and is the third largest in the country. Students from over 40 nations
attend KMC, and their degrees are recognized world-wide .
In addition to
teaching, the KMC faculty are engaged in numerous and extensive
research projects, including biotechnology, laser spectroscopy,
radiobiology, and molecular and cellular biology. There are a wide
range of research opportunities available to students who wish to
pursue such endeavors. The faculty of the medical school are dedicated
to excellence in teaching and to preparing physicians with a broad
and thorough knowledge of medical science.
Founded in 1953
by Dr. T.M.A. Pai, a country doctor committed to education and philanthropy,
Manipal University began with only a few students on a barren hillside.
Today the campus is a testament to Dr. Pai's vision; bustling, lovely,
and expansive. Manipal University has developed in many directions
and offers unique opportunities. The Anatomy and Pathology Museum
is one of the largest of its kind in the world, with over one thousand
specimens available for study by medical students, and a separate
section on comparative anatomy with skeletons of both reptiles and
mammals. The campus is also the site of a Planetarium, Science Centre,
and a Swimming Pool. Housing is available on campus.
AUA and KMC are
particularly suited as partners in a medical education affiliation
as both institutions are committed to a mission of training physicians
who are both competent and skilled, compassionate and caring.
