Curriculum
MBBS
College of Medical Sciences offers Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), comprising of 2 years of basic sciences, 3 years of clinical sciences and training and one year of internship.
In the first year, the biomedical sciences emphasize normal human structure and function.
The second year shifts the focus to the pathophysiology of disease and methods used to diagnose and treat illness. The first and second year curriculums have been arranged system wise. Students will simultaneously study anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and clinical skills associated with a system.

- Community Medicine The broad goal of Community Medicine courses course is to provide a community based medical education that emphasizes the health care needs of the citizens of a country, particularly on culturally sensitive healthcare in diverse communities including primary care, care for elderly people, underserved rural and urban communities.
In Year 3, students would understand, that community medicine is essentially concerned with the health of the people, the health problems of the people and is engaged in finding solutions to the health problems .The main emphasis is on health promotion and disease prevention.
The focus would be on epidemiological approach, epidemiological methods, to understand disease causation and the strategies for prevention and control.
Students will also be able to appreciate the roles of the individual, family, community and the socio-cultural environment in health and disease (2:0=2)MCM 312
