Overview

The Department of Medical Education and Research is dedicated to enhancing the quality of medical education and research in Nepal through innovative initiatives and global collaborations. Our mission is to develop skilled medical professionals by implementing advanced teaching methods, promoting impactful medical research, and offering continuous professional development programs.

Key academic programs include the prestigious National Board of Medical Specialties (NBMS) postgraduate courses such as MCh in GI Surgery, MCh in Urology, and MD/MS degrees in Radiology, Pathology, and Anesthesiology. Additionally, the department has successfully conducted the FCPS program in partnership with the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP), with 16 students completing comprehensive training across seven specialized departments.

To ensure healthcare professionals stay updated with the latest medical advancements, the department organizes regular Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions, fostering knowledge sharing and professional networking.

Research is a cornerstone of our department’s mission. All postgraduate students are required to complete research projects, supported by faculty-led initiatives. Prominent ongoing research includes the REMAP-CAP clinical trial focused on community-acquired pneumonia and the MEGAROX study, which investigates enteric infections and antimicrobial resistance.

We also provide observership opportunities for international medical students, offering exposure to the Nepalese healthcare system and enhancing clinical skills in a diverse medical environment.

In collaboration with the Nepal Intensive Care Research Foundation (NICRF), the department actively contributes to the ICU Registry project, a national database initiative aimed at improving critical care outcomes and patient management across Nepal.
