The Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research (JIPMER) is one among the top five medical schools in India and is located in Puducherry (formerly Pondicherry), a union territory town in southern India that lies on the shores of the Bay of Bengal.
JIPMER is both an educational institute that imparts undergraduate and postgraduate medical training and a working hospital that provides inexpensive medical care to a large number of patients.
JIPMER is a residential medical institution with its own campus spread over 195 acres (0.79 km2). It has about 360 resident physicians and over 3000 nursing, administrative and support staff. Every year it admits 75 undergraduate students and 50 postgraduate students. The staff strength of the institute is about 3000. The teaching faculty consists of 300 experienced teachers and 565 resident doctors.
In 1823, a medical college called the Ecole de Medicine de Pondicherry was established by the French government in Pondicherry. In November 1956 the Government of India took over the medical college in the wake of the ‘de facto’ transfer of Pondicherry. The college was upgraded as a Regional Centre and named as Jawaharlal Institute of Post-graduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) on 13th July 1964.
Three main functions of this institute are,
(i). to impart quality education in Under-graduate and Post-graduate medical and paramedical courses;
(ii). to set trends in medical research and
(iii). to offer patient care of high order.
