Overview
The college offers undergraduate and postgraduate training in medicine, with the attached hospital functioning as the principal site for clinical instruction, patient care, and resident training. As a teaching hospital, it provides outpatient services, inpatient wards, diagnostic facilities, and specialty departments that support the curriculum required for medical degrees in India.
Like other private medical colleges in India, Pacific Medical College and Hospital operates within the regulatory framework set by the national medical regulator (formerly the Medical Council of India and now the National Medical Commission) and is linked to a recognised university for the award of degrees.
Location and setting
The institution is situated in Udaipur, a city in the Mewar region of Rajasthan known for its lakes, palaces, and role as an educational and tourism hub for southern Rajasthan. Udaipur serves as a referral centre for surrounding districts, and private medical institutions in the city draw patients from rural areas of Rajasthan as well as adjoining parts of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
Academic programmes
Programmes typically offered at medical colleges of this category include:
- Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) at the undergraduate level.
- Postgraduate degrees and diplomas in clinical and pre-clinical specialities.
- Allied programmes in nursing and paramedical disciplines through associated institutions of the Pacific group.
Hospital services
The attached hospital functions as a multi-specialty facility providing services across departments such as general medicine, general surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, ENT, anaesthesiology, radiology, and pathology, along with emergency and intensive care services that are standard requirements for a medical teaching hospital in India.
Significance
Pacific Medical College and Hospital contributes to medical education capacity in southern Rajasthan, a region historically served by a smaller number of medical colleges compared with the more urbanised parts of the state. By combining undergraduate and postgraduate training with hospital services, it adds to the availability of trained doctors and specialist care in the Mewar region.
