Introduction

Since the establishment, it has already grown significantly and achieved widespread recognition for its academic excellence and dedicated services. Students from both home and abroad are studying in this college in a very congenial environment.
Location
International Medical College is located about 22 km away from the city center of Dhaka, more specifically, on the outskirts of Tongi. It is within 30 minutes of distance from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka, and the main Railway station and Bus terminals of Dhaka City.
The Campus
The campus has wonderful surroundings away from the hassle of hectic city life. It is enriched with the touches of nature – green vegetation, spaced villages, and large water bodies and so on. This natural setting provides a perfect place for learning because everyone has a chance to reflect on the matters that need utmost focus and depth of understanding in solitude. So, it is a great advantage for the medical students for delving into the most sophisticated knowledge of the world – the knowledge of human body.
The college has its unique infrastructural facilities with the modern amenities that an educational institution can offer at international level. The present campus of the college has an area of about 9 acres of land. It is surrounded by a boundary wall so that the highest level security can be maintained.

International Medical College Hospital

Its proximity to the college building facilitates a strong linkage between the college and the hospital that provides students to connote the theoretical knowledge with the practical one. The hospital is well-equipped with modern laboratories, and other facilities such as demonstration rooms providing the best possible bedside learning environment. It has a welcoming reception, automation system, emergency room, wards, cabins, and waiting area that altogether provide the best services to the patients.

IMC believes college premises need to be well-equipped for a quality campus life which can act as a catalyst for students’ academic success. Keeping that in mind, all state-of-the-art facilities are made available in the college for the students.

Accommodation is the facility that can play a key role in a medical college. This is more appropriate in the case of IMC as it has the influx of students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and distant places, even from abroad.

A well-equipped library is a must for an educational institute. IMC Library, located in the first floor of the college building, is much enriched with a wide ranging collection of books and Journals. The collection is continuously being updated for keeping students’ and teachers’ knowledge and skills in line with the most recent improvements of medical science. The reading room of the library can accommodate about 60 students. There is a separate reading room for the teachers within the library. College archive is also located within the library in a separate corner. Library remains open from 8am to 9 pm. Students can use internet facility which is free of cost. Staff members of the library are well-behaved, and they cooperate with the students for ensuring the best service of the library.

Medical education blends skills and knowledge in a perfect combination that creates synergy for grooming future medical professionals. Keeping that in mind, IMC plans its academic activities accordingly. So it fosters a practice-oriented and demonstration-based teaching and learning environment.
