The All India Institute of Medical Sciences was established by an Act of Parliament of 1956, as an autonomous institution of national importance. By virtue of this Act, the institute awards its own medical degrees, diplomas and other academic distinctions. The degrees and diplomas awarded by the institute under the All India Institute of Medical Science Act are recognised medical qualifications for the purpose of the Indian Medical Council Act. Aims And Objectives The prime concern of the institute is to develop patterns of teaching in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education so as to bring under one roof educational facilities of the highest order for training personnel in all important branches of health activities. Educational principles and practices best suited to the needs of the country are used in this institution. Adaptation of education to meet the problems of community health is a major preoccupation. To this effect the institute has been trying to initiate a model educational programme which is undertaken in the Ballabgarh Community Development Block in collaboration with the Haryana Government. The institute has also been able to initiate a model educational programme in Community Medicine at the Urban Field Practice Area in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi. Emphasis is laid on active learning processes and on the cultivation of habits of scholarship and scientific methods. The first batch of undergraduate medical students was admitted to the institute in the year 1956. Ever since the institute has been admitting 50 students every year to the MBBS course. The number of students to this course is kept relatively small to ensure an adequate teacher-student ratio. At present, the institute awards postgraduate degrees in about 45 different specialities.
