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.
