The Medical Education Department (MED) has been existing at KMC since 2003. The first batch of teachers was sent from KMC to the Medical Education Unit of IOM for Teacher Training with the objective of starting a Medical Education Unit at KMC. Teacher Training Cell at KMC was started in June 2001. The training of this core group of faculty was interrupted and the training of this first batch of ten teachers subsequently took place only in February 2003. Since then there have been a number of workshops on Teacher Training at KMC over the years. The Medical Education Department of KMC was further strengthened and activated in the year 2014. The new MED committee was formed in 23 July, 2023.
