Birat Medial College (BMC) is the newest medical school in Nepal. Established in 2014 as an extended program of Kathmandu University, BMC is now gearing up for its fifth intake. Each year 75 national and international students join us to pursue their life-long passion and goals.
Even though BMC is relatively new, its history in the context of Nepal has been one of significance. Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital as we are now known as began with a single bedded clinic in 1991. Dr Gyanendra Man Sing Karki, our chairman, has always been a visionary leader and a patriot of Nepal. Completing his MD with a specialty in Obstetrics and Oncological Gynecology from former USSR, Dr. Karki always knew he wanted to contribute to the healthcare of Nepal. Even with vast opportunities presented to him around the world, he knew his dedication for his own people outweighed any materialistic gains. Dr. Karki has always believed than Nepal is more than just the capital and should be developed in its entirety, rather than centralising where gains are the greatest. It is with this belief for the need to decentralize healthcare that Dr. Karki in 1993 moved to Biratnagar, a southeastern city of Nepal, where he started his private practice. Being able to provide a super-specialty service to a much needed community helped a lot of people in need. What started as a single-bedded clinic turned into a 25-bedded Birat Nursing Home by 1994. Being one of the first private hospitals outside of the city, numerous patients not only benefitted from not having to travel to India or Kathmandu, but our center was able to provide healthcare services for neighboring Indian patients as well.
By year 2000, Birat Nursing Home managed to grow into 50-bedded tertiary care hospital on its own premises where it still stands. It was at this center that Birat hospital has managed to make significant contribution to our people and the country as whole. We became pioneers of utilizing many technological advances, services and techniques that first entered Nepal and are still recognized as the only advanced laparoscopic gynecological surgery center in Nepal.
By year 2004, we understood the need for passing on our vastly accumulated knowledge to the next generation. It was with this vision in mind that we first entered our academic mission by establishing Birat Health College (BHC), a nursing school. Today, Birat Health College has over 900 students enrolled in 11 separate heath allied disciplines. BHC has not only produced thousands of much required health workforce for Nepal but also helped Birat Nursing Home sustain its health workforce requirement and quality.
By year 2011, we were ready to expand on our health care academic mission. It was in this year that we took the Letter of Intent (LOI) to establish a new medical school in Nepal. After being 3 years in the pipeline of constant construction and lobbying, BMC came into existence as the newest medical school in August, 2014 and by November, 2014 we had our first batch of 75 students that are still studying with us. Since then BMC has never stopped expanding neither its health care services nor its academic facilities. By 2015, we established a new stand-alone community-oriented teaching hospital that as of 2018 is a comprehensive 350-bedded tertiary care hospital. Combined we see thousands of patients each day and are well geared towards becoming a prominent medical institute of the future.

Birat Medical College (BMC) accepts a limited number of exchange students from international medical schools. International students can be accepted for periods known as ‘blocks’, research electives or elective clerkships. For blocks and most of the clinical electives good knowledge of the English language is required.
Students must be in their final year of their medical education at their own medical school. Priority is given to applications from one of the official partner institutes of the BMC.
All requests for electives from international medical students, whether at a school affiliated with the College or not, must be forwarded to the International Student and Scholar Advisor, (internationalstudents@biratmedicalcollege.com).
Benefits of Exchange Program:
We believe that exchange/visit program allows students to experience what it is like to live and learn in another country, which could be an eye-opening, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Student exchange program provides students with opportunities that they simply can’t get anywhere else. Whether students want to travel in order to earn credits, broaden their horizon or experience a new culture, there are plenty of benefits to be had.
While adding to a student’s education is very important, students who participate in exchange programs also benefit on a personal level. By having the opportunity to discover a place that is unfamiliar to them, students develop self-awareness and self-esteem in a manner that cannot be duplicated. These students learn the ability to confront social challenges outside of their comfort zones and deal with problems head-on. Additionally Nepal offers a perfect environment to learn what it is like to cater to the needs of mass population, experience firsthand the burden and management of Tropical diseases; and encounter medical cases that are rarely seen in developed nations.
Requirements for international medical students:
1. Electives are available only to full-time students in good standing at recognized medical schools.
2. Students must be in their final year of medical school.
3. Students must be fluent in English.
4. Electives are generally limited to one four-week rotation. (Subject to their medical school’s requirement)
5. Applications must be received no later than three months before the start date of the elective.
