MD Internal Medicine

MD Internal Medicine at Patan Academy of Health Sciences is a three-year, competency-based postgraduate residency focused on comprehensive adult medical care, clinical reasoning, and community-oriented practice, with primary training at Patan Hospital.

The MD Internal Medicine program at PAHS is designed to produce clinically competent, ethically grounded, and community-responsive internists. Training is delivered through a competency-based curriculum emphasizing Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), continuous formative assessment, and documented skill acquisition. Most residency training occurs at Patan Hospital, with mandatory rotations in peripheral and community health facilities under PAHS distributive learning sites. Residents must complete a thesis and generate a publishable research article. Certification in eight core competencies is mandatory prior to the final summative examination. Tuition fees are waived in exchange for a compulsory post-graduation service obligation as mandated by the PAHS Act.
