Education is one of the most critical elements of national development effort. It is a powerful tool to build knowledge based society. The main focus of University Grants Commission (UGC) is to improve and expand education in all sectors of the society by eliminating disparities in access and laying greater emphasis on the improvement in quality and relevance of education at all levels.

Incommensurate with the policies of UGC, at MGMIHS teaching is not only viewed impart knowledge, but also to ensure that the graduating students have critical thinking, and are inspired and motivated to solve need-based problems, and able to deal with global challenges. It is always in our minds that it is the teacher who through intelligence, patience and wisdom has to polish the student's intellect and aptitude and shape their bright future. We know that even the knowledge of the teachers need to be regularly updated through capacity building programs. At MGMIHS, we are aware of the view that students have varying learning capacities and this must be considered while grooming them into their profession of choice. The different teaching strategies followed at the University such as lecture-based teaching, and teaching which is primarily learner-focused like, problem-based learning, competency-based learning and outcome-based learning help students to understand the study curriculum and to be a competent professional. Some of the limitations of large classroom teachings are overcome through supplementary discussion sessions, seminars and lab-based demonstrations where the number of students per batch is much less. Every effort is made to enhance bonding between teachers and their students.

The academic programs related to teaching, research and clinical skills, are reviewed periodically by competent bodies such as, Board of Studies, Faculty of Medicine, Academic Council before their recommendations are reviewed and approved by the Board of Management. The review process identifies what and how needs to be achieved? What are our aspirations for tomorrow and how that will become reality? Define the goals and targets, and road map so that MGMIHS vision, to be a top ranking Centre of excellence in medical and allied health sciences education and research, becomes a reality by the year 2020.
