Mysore Medical College and Research Instt. (Prev.name Government Medical College), Mysore
Mysore Medical College was established in June/July 1924. It is the oldest and first medical college started and has made a lot of progress.
From the humble beginning it has progressively grown to be one of the foremost institutions of its land in the country.
“A Medical School (Vaidyashala) was established at Mysore Capital during 1833 by 22nd ruler of Wodiyar dynasty, Sri KrishnarajaWodiyar ||| (1799-1868), the ruler of Mysore Samsthana, for treatment by English medicine in the interest of public as mentioned in the book on Mysore Royal Family written by B. Ramakrishna Rao, Palace Controller, published in 1922. The palace durbar surgeon working under H.H. Was nominated as supervisor for the Medical School. Later it Was Started at Bangalore town also by the samsthana. Further it extended the medical services at division levels and appointing medical officers. Separate medical centres were opened at Bangalore for Leprosy patients during 1845 and mentally disorderd patients during 1850 by KrishnarajaWodiyar |||.
Further as per the decions and instructions of British Governer General and guidelines of Commissioner kabbansaheb, a separate department for education was established by Mysore Samstana during May 1857.
The MMC was first started in Bangalore near the famous Victoria Hospital in small building in the original Electric ‘A’ station near the fort. But the landmarks of have disappeared. Dr. S. SubbaRao, the physiologist, was the first principal succeeded by Dr. H. G. Mylvaganam and Dr. B.K. NarayanaRao. There was already a University school existing since 1917 at Bangalore which was closed in 1956. The college was shifted to Mysore from Bangalore in 1930 at the behest of cherished desire and instance of H.H. KrishnarajaWodeyar |V . (1902-40). There was vehement opposition of the entire medical profession for this venture. But the Maharaja’s wishes and desire prevailed, cherished and fulfilled. Hence the college was regarded as twice born one, first in Bangalore and later christened or incarnated as University Medical College (UMC) in Mysore. It has the unique distinction of being the first medical college started in a native princely state of preindepence era. It was the only medical college till 1952 in Karnataka. Perhaps it was the sixth or seventh medical college in India at that time. In the beginning it was temporarily accommodated in the Chamarajendra Technical Institute building for its office and lecture halls.
Dr. J. F. Robison, a Britisher, was the first principal of the college in Mysore. He was also the Durbar (palace) Surgeon to His Highness and Superintendent of the prestigious Krishnarajendra Hospital. He was a fellow of the celebrated Mayo Clinic of U. S. A. and obtained his F.A.C.S. He was deputed to U.K to take a British Fellowship(F.R.C.S, Edinburg.)
Diploma in Radio-Diagnosis
Mysore Medical College and Research Instt. (Prev.name Government Medical College), Mysore
A Diploma in Radio-Diagnosis is a specialized program designed to provide education and training in the field of diagnostic radiology. Diagnostic radiology involves the use of medical imaging technologies to visualize and diagnose diseases and conditions. This diploma is typically geared toward healthcare professionals, such as radiographers or medical imaging technologists, who specialize in conducting and interpreting diagnostic imaging studies.
Here are some common components of a Diploma in Radio-Diagnosis program:
Radiographic Imaging Techniques: Training in the use of various imaging modalities, such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine.
Radiation Physics: Understanding the principles of radiation and its interaction with the human body in the context of diagnostic imaging.
Anatomy and Physiology: In-depth knowledge of human anatomy and physiology to facilitate the interpretation of medical images.
Radiographic Positioning and Techniques: Practical skills in positioning patients and operating imaging equipment to obtain high-quality diagnostic images.
Patient Care in Radiology: Communication skills, patient assessment, and care during diagnostic imaging procedures.
Radiation Safety and Protection: Practices to ensure the safety of patients, healthcare professionals, and the public during diagnostic imaging.
Contrast Media Studies: Training in the administration and interpretation of contrast agents for enhanced imaging studies.
Medical Imaging Equipment Maintenance: Basic understanding of the maintenance and quality control of diagnostic imaging equipment.
Ethics and Legal Considerations: Understanding ethical and legal aspects related to the practice of diagnostic radiology.
Clinical Internship/Practicum: Hands-on training in a clinical setting under supervision, where students can apply their knowledge and skills in real patient scenarios.
Upon completion of the program, individuals with a Diploma in Radio-Diagnosis are typically prepared to work as radiographers or diagnostic medical imaging technologists in hospitals, clinics, imaging centers, and other healthcare settings. They play a crucial role in the diagnostic process by producing high-quality images that aid healthcare providers in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions.
As with any educational program, it's important to ensure that the institution offering the diploma is accredited by relevant accrediting bodies or organizations in your region. Additionally, some individuals may choose to pursue further education, such as a Bachelor's or Master's degree, for career advancement or specialization in specific areas of diagnostic radiology

The PG student should also acquire the basic skills in teaching of medical/para-medical students. She/he is also expected to know the principles of research methodology and modes of consulting library. She/he should attend conferences, workshops and CMEs regularly to upgrade his/her knowledge. The purpose of this document is to provide teachers and learners illustrative guidelines to achieve defined outcomes through learning and assessment. This document was prepared by various subject-content specialists. The Reconciliation Board of the Academic Committee has attempted to render uniformity without compromise to purpose and content of the document. Compromise in purity of syntax has been made in order to preserve the purpose and content. This has necessitated retention of “domains of learning” under the heading “competencies”
