Calicut Medical College is the most preferred medical college of Kerala during both All India as well as state counsellings for [[M.B.B.S.]] admission. [[File:Kozhikode Medical College.3.jpg\|thumbnail\|Institute of Maternal & Child Health]]

	~~==History==~~
	The foundation stone of the college was laid on 29 May 1957 by the then Governor of Kerala, Dr. B. Ramakrishna Rao. The college was formally inaugurated on 5 August 1957 by the then minister of Health, Kerala state Dr. A. R. Menon, whose initiative and zeal were responsible for the establishment of the institution. Dr. K. N. Pisharoty, the first principal, was responsible for the task of organizing the college.

	The main hospital was commissioned in 1966 with 1183 beds. It was later supplemented by the Institute of Maternal and Child Health in 1975 (610 beds), The Savithri Devi Saboo Memorial Cancer Institute (101 beds), and the Chest Hospital (100 beds). A super-specialty complex, a new Block for the Institute of Maternal and Child Health(IMCH), an artificial limb centre, the College ~~of Nursing, the College of Pharmacy, Casualty (Emergency Services) complex, Samrakshana Kendram, and Vishrama Kendram were later added to the main institution. The present bed strength~~ is ~~3025( MCH 1510, IMCH-1100, SSB-240,ICD-100, sports Medicine-15, New Psychiatry Block-20 and Hemato-oncology-40). However,~~ the patient load is beyond the commissioned number of total beds. Because of the patient overload, the floors and corridors are usually occupied. The Dental College was inaugurated on 16 April 1984, Nursing College was started in 1989 and are at present functioning as independent colleges.

	~~The annual intake of undergraduate students has been increased from 50 to 250. The consolidation of undergraduate~~ medical ~~education was achieved in the 1960s. The 1970s witnessed the establishment and expansion of postgraduate medical education in various branches. Now the~~ college ~~provides PG in 28 disciplines. With the establishment~~ of ~~training programs in the super specialties, the institution further widened its academic horizon. Now, this college has Super Speciality courses in 10 departments. A~~ well equipped Cardiac Catheterization Lab and Tele Cobalt Therapy are already there in the hospital. A well-equipped MCI recognized Centre for Medical Education technology is functioning and it caters to 12 medical colleges. The college also conducts degree and PG courses in Nursing and Pharmacy and degree and diploma courses in paramedical sciences. The Medical library, almost all of the departments and offices of the college and hospitals are provided with computer facilities.

	~~The latest additions to the collegiate hospital are the Multistoried Super Specialty Complex (SSB), New Block~~ for Institute of Maternal and Child Health, and the Institute of Sports Medicine. The super-specialty Complex for MCH was inaugurated on 23 September 2006. The modern hospital unit was started with outpatient clinics of the super specialties exclusively. Later the inpatient wards also started functioning. It has the state of the art cardiac cath lab, MRI Scan, Doppler ultrasound, and digital radiography system.

	~~The renovated IMCH building constructed under the NRHM Scheme was inaugurated by the Hon. Health Minister~~ [[P. K. ~~Sreemathy\|P~~.K. ~~Sreemathy~~]] ~~Teacher in the year of 2010~~. Hon. Health Minister also inaugurated the State Institute of Sports Medicine in Medical College Campus on 2010. The new golden jubilee block for IMCH built with the aid of NRHM was inaugurated by The Hon’ble Minister for Home Affairs for state Sri. Mullapppally Ramachandran in 2011.

	Institute of Mental Health and neurosciences under the central scheme was built in the campus. It is envisaged as a mutually beneficial unit for community psychiatry under IMHANS and the medical college psychiatry department. Another project under central grant –Tertiary cancer Care Centre iwas also allotted to this college in 2015.

	Three new departments were added to the feather of this college which will have long-lasting percussions in the day-to-day functioning of this college. These are the Department of Neonatology, Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, and Department of Family Medicine. Family Medicine is started for the first time in Govt Medical Colleges in the country and the Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine is started for the first time in Govt. Medical Colleges in the state.

	A new ward for Hemato-oncology patients, a new multi-disciplinary ICU, and casualty with triage are the next area under development. The multidisciplinary research unit and Reproductive Medicine unit are under the final stages of implementation. New projects under consideration are a lecture theatre complex, Geriatric block, women's’ hostel, Flats for junior residents, and apartment blocks for faculties. Administrative sanction from the Govt and necessary funds is provided and is waiting for civil construction.

'''Government Medical College, Kozhikode''',<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Government Medical College Kozhikode|url=https://www.govtmedicalcollegekozhikode.ac.in/aboutUs|access-date=2021-02-12|website=}}</ref> also known as '''Calicut medical College''' or C.M.C, is a [[school of medicine]] in [[Kozhikode]] (formerly Calicut) in the [[Indian state]] of [[Kerala]]. The college was established in 1957 as the second medical college in Kerala. The school's campus is spread over 230 acres, and is located about 8 km east of the heart of Kozhikode city. Formerly affiliated to the University of Calicut, the college is now attached to the Kerala University for Health Sciences (KUHS). This college and allied institutions serve 40% of the population of Kerala.

==History==
The foundation stone of the college was laid on 29 May 1957 by the then Governor of Kerala, Dr. B. Ramakrishna Rao. The college was formally inaugurated on 5 August 1957 by the then minister of Health, Kerala state Dr. A. R. Menon, whose initiative and zeal were responsible for the establishment of the institution. Dr. K. N. Pisharoty, the first principal, was responsible for the task of organizing the college.

The main hospital was commissioned in 1966 with 1183 beds. It was later supplemented by the Institute of Maternal and Child Health in 1975 (610 beds), The Savithri Devi Saboo Memorial Cancer Institute (101 beds), and the Chest Hospital (100 beds). A super-specialty complex, a new Block for the Institute of Maternal and Child Health(IMCH), an artificial limb centre, the College of Nursing, the College of Pharmacy, Casualty (Emergency Services) complex, Samrakshana Kendram, and Vishrama Kendram were later added to the main institution. The present bed strength is 3025( MCH 1510, IMCH-1100, SSB-240,ICD-100, sports Medicine-15, New Psychiatry Block-20 and Hemato-oncology-40). However, the patient load is beyond the commissioned number of total beds. Because of the patient overload, the floors and corridors are usually occupied. The Dental College was inaugurated on 16 April 1984, Nursing College was started in 1989 and are at present functioning as independent colleges.

The annual intake of undergraduate students has been increased from 50 to 250. The consolidation of undergraduate medical education was achieved in the 1960s. The 1970s witnessed the establishment and expansion of postgraduate medical education in various branches. Now the college provides PG in 28 disciplines. With the establishment of training programs in the super specialties, the institution further widened its academic horizon. Now, this college has Super Speciality courses in 10 departments. A well equipped Cardiac Catheterization Lab and Tele Cobalt Therapy are already there in the hospital. A well-equipped MCI recognized Centre for Medical Education technology is functioning and it caters to 12 medical colleges. The college also conducts degree and PG courses in Nursing and Pharmacy and degree and diploma courses in paramedical sciences. The Medical library, almost all of the departments and offices of the college and hospitals are provided with computer facilities.

The latest additions to the collegiate hospital are the Multistoried Super Specialty Complex (SSB), New Block for Institute of Maternal and Child Health, and the Institute of Sports Medicine. The super-specialty Complex for MCH was inaugurated on 23 September 2006. The modern hospital unit was started with outpatient clinics of the super specialties exclusively. Later the inpatient wards also started functioning. It has the state of the art cardiac cath lab, MRI Scan, Doppler ultrasound, and digital radiography system.

The renovated IMCH building constructed under the NRHM Scheme was inaugurated by the Hon. Health Minister [[P. K. Sreemathy|P.K. Sreemathy]] Teacher in the year of 2010. Hon. Health Minister also inaugurated the State Institute of Sports Medicine in Medical College Campus on 2010. The new golden jubilee block for IMCH built with the aid of NRHM was inaugurated by The Hon’ble Minister for Home Affairs for state Sri. Mullapppally Ramachandran in 2011.

Institute of Mental Health and neurosciences under the central scheme was built in the campus. It is envisaged as a mutually beneficial unit for community psychiatry under IMHANS and the medical college psychiatry department. Another project under central grant –Tertiary cancer Care Centre iwas also allotted to this college in 2015.

Three new departments were added to the feather of this college which will have long-lasting percussions in the day-to-day functioning of this college. These are the Department of Neonatology, Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, and Department of Family Medicine. Family Medicine is started for the first time in Govt Medical Colleges in the country and the Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine is started for the first time in Govt. Medical Colleges in the state.

A new ward for Hemato-oncology patients, a new multi-disciplinary ICU, and casualty with triage are the next area under development. The multidisciplinary research unit and Reproductive Medicine unit are under the final stages of implementation. New projects under consideration are a lecture theatre complex, Geriatric block, women's’ hostel, Flats for junior residents, and apartment blocks for faculties. Administrative sanction from the Govt and necessary funds is provided and is waiting for civil construction.
