THIRUVANATHAPURAM: The first self-financed medical

college in Kerala, set up by the Amrita Institute of

Medical Sciences (AIMS), Kochi, will be inaugurated

next month.

 

 

The college with a student strength of 100 has been

considered the most modern college so far in the state

with a full-fledged hospital and teaching faculty.

Amrita College is the first product of the

liberalisation Kerala began in the professional

education sector a year ago. The college is affiliated

to the Mahatma Gandhi University of Science.

 

 

Medical Director Dr Prem Nair and Vice-President AIMS

A.P.S. Krishnan told reporters that the MCI inspection

team which visited the hospital last month found no

"deficiency" in the facilities. In fact, the college's

human anatomy museum and lecture halls with close

circuit TV had received laudatory remarks from the MCI

tam, Krishnan said. Integrating information technology

in the medical curriculum is one of the novel features

of the college.

 

 

The new college also creates history as this is the

first professional college without reservation. All

except 15 per cent NRI quota are open for merit.

 

 

The AIMS authorities said the college was likely to be

inaugurated by the Union Minister for Health

Shatrughan Sinha.
