National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS)
With the support of Tribhuvan University, post-graduate Education was started in Bir Hospital and other hospitals in the valley through the Post Graduate Medical Education Coordination Committee in 1994 AD. Building upon these experiences and based on the national need, Bir Hospital was developed into the National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS) on its glorious 114 years in 2002.
Over the past 12 years, NAMS and its 13 member hospitals have made significant development in their operations. The institution has evolved over this time, producing two levels of nursing education and 33 subjects for postgraduate degrees in MD/MS/MDS/MCh/DM. For postgraduate studies, the yearly admission has grown from 46 to 93 students. The postgraduate programs for the Higher Specialist Training program (DM/MCh) and the Basic Specialist Training program (MD/MS/MDS) are now being offered by the NAMS in many subject areas.

The NAMS is fostering a culture of research among medical professionals and institutions across the nation as its programs are implemented in over a hundred hospitals and health centers.
