Institute of Medicine (IOM)
Established in 1972 at Tribhuvan University, the Institute of Medicine (IoM) was given the duty of preparing healthcare professionals at all levels to meet Nepal's healthcare needs. The IoM established 12 campuses across the nation in the first ten years of its existence, with three of those being in Kathmandu and nine outside of the Kathmandu Valley.
IoM initially placed a strong emphasis on training middle-level healthcare professionals. ANM, CMA, the Proficiency Certificate Course in General Medicine, Pharmacy, Radiology, Physiotherapy, Nursing, Health Laboratory, and Traditional Medicine are among the programs that fulfill this objective.The institutional goals of IoM have continued to change. The mission of the IoM expanded into training tertiary-level health professionals. By 1977 it had at the graduate level two-year Bachelor programmes in Community Nursing, Paediatric Nursing and Adult Nursing.
