Rules & Regulations

Nepal Medical College believes that Quality Medical Education is only possible when Medical Students, Medical Faculty and the NMC management abide by the rules and regulations set by NMC and allow harmony to prevail in NMC without feelings of mistrust among one another. Each is responsible for maintaining its code of conduct for the achievement of the Mission and Goals of NMC. NMC believes that all medical students entering a medical college during the first year have individual potentialities to compete and out shine with one another. They mould their character during their stay in the college and become capable to face the society with competencies required of Medical Graduates.

The main focus of the medical faculty and the management at a medical college lies in bringing about these changes in the Medical students and enable them to turn into competent medical graduates. For this purpose, it is very important for the students to be obedient to their faculty and the management. All concerned have their specific roles to play in the process of transforming medical students of today to becoming the medical graduates of tomorrow.

By far the most, among the three, is the Medical Student who has to undergo a change in behaviour so that the society accepts him or her as a Medical Doctor tomorrow. For allowing students to develop the right attitude required of a medical doctor, it is most essential for the medical students to learn to adapt to the rules and regulations of NMC. Giving up some of the habits (if possessed), which the Society can not accept from a future medical Doctor, inculcating good habits suitable to practice medicine efficiently and above all, developing in themselves the Universal Truth of possessing benevolent, compassionate and empathetic attitude required for the health care of patients and the society at large, is expected of each and every medical student of NMC. To be able to achieve these abilities by the Medical students, who are required to cultivate these qualities as demanded of him or her by the Medical Profession, they must always obey their teachers and follow the line of management set by the NMC founder members.
