Goa Medical College

Goa Medical College

Goa Medical College (GMC) is one of the oldest medical colleges in Asia, built by the Portuguese in 1842 as the "Escola Medico-Cirurgica de Goa". The college is located at Bambolim, in Goa, India. The college is affiliated to Goa University. Medicine was taught in Portuguese for over four hundred years, first by Portuguese priests in the theological colleges of Old Goa, and then in Escola Medico-Cirurgica itself. After Goa became a part of India in 1961, the medium of instruction was changed to English.
