On the college: “With the opportunity to steer competency-based medical education in producing Indian medical graduates, we at SDUMC have a perfect blend of trained faculty and excellent infrastructure. Both the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes we offer have been most sought after for the quality of education imparted. Our flag bearers are the alumni who have imbibed the ethos of the institution and excel in areas of health-care delivery with competence that matches global standards.”

We aim to add many more programmes in medical specialties and super-specialties, to extend advanced health-care facilities to the people of the rural areas where the institution is situated, in addition to primary health care.
