“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

-Mahatma Gandhi

Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Dehradun is not only a picturesque city but also a hub of academic and research excellence. The presence of several prestigious institutes in this serene environment significantly enhances the city’s reputation and development. Among these, the Government Doon Medical College (GDMC) stands out like a gem at the centre of this educational hub, providing a unique advantage. GDMC attracts a diverse group of students, researchers, and professionals, creating a vibrant cultural and intellectual community. This diversity fosters an environment of innovation and collaboration, leading to groundbreaking research and developments.

The state initiative to establish a quality teaching facility of medicine in the capital of the state for public services became a reality with the founding of GDMC in 2016. Despite being relatively new, the college has made significant strides in medical education and has become a reputable institution known for its modern facilities and dedicated faculty. It has set exemplary standards in training young, meritorious aspirants in multiple fields of medicine, moulding them into highly proficient and skilled caregivers. GDMC serves as a key referral centre, providing excellent medical care and services not only to the needy from the plains and hilly terrain of Uttarakhand but also from neighbouring states.

The college is equipped with modern facilities and experienced faculty members dedicated to shaping the future of healthcare in the region. It offers a wide range of medical education programs and is renowned for its quality education, experienced faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities.

Thus, GDMC Dehradun is more than just an educational institution; it is a pillar of healthcare, research, and community service, playing a crucial role in the overall development and well-being of the community. It is poised to continue making significant contributions to the healthcare of the community.
