Our focus on Healthcare and Education is
not limited to classroom learning and
hospital treatment alone. Our true purpose
comes alive through community initiatives.
At Ramaiah Medical College, we focus on sharing awareness and knowledge of better health across larger sections of society. Our efforts are led by the Department of Community Medicine at RMC and the Medical College Hospital.
Apart from ongoing research and training of students to be sensitive to all strata of society, we strive to contribute to the community through our outreach programmes. Students, interns, PG residents and faculty together drive these initiatives in our field practice areas, emphasising the need for prevention, not just cure.
