Khyber Medical College

What Khyber Medical College does

Khyber Medical College (KMC) is a public undergraduate medical education institution established in 1954 in Peshawar, Pakistan, operating as a constituent college of Khyber Medical University under the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The college delivers a five-year MBBS degree program from its campus within the University of Peshawar, recruiting students nationally through the KMU centralized admission system. Clinical training is delivered through the affiliated Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) across 16+ clinical departments spanning Anesthesia, Cardiology, General Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and others, with basic sciences taught across Anatomy, Biochemistry, Community Medicine, Forensic Medicine, Pharmacology, Pathology, and Physiology.

Supporting academic products include the Certificate in Health Professions Education (CHPE), the Student Research Cell (SRC), the Medicine Interest Group (MIG-KMC), the Research Coordination Wing, and the annual KMCCon scientific conference. The institution also publishes the Journal of Medical Sciences (Online ISSN 1997-3446) and the Pakistan Medical Students Research Journal. Technology infrastructure consists of the KMCITE e-learning platform, a digital attendance/leave system, a clinical audit request system (clinicalaudit.kmc.edu.pk), a dedicated IT Cell/SLRC, and the Learning Minds Podcast (launched January 13, 2025) distributed on Spotify, YouTube, and Instagram.

KMC's revenue is derived from regulated MBBS tuition, KMU-administered examination and certification fees, and hostel accommodation fees across four residential hostels; pricing is set by Khyber Medical University and the provincial government rather than by KMC. The college holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (achieved March 2023) and is overseen by Dean Prof. Dr. Mahmud Aurangzeb, with a Board of Governors and a 501(c)(3) alumni network (KMCAANA) operating in North America.
