}}
The institute has many training programs in various specialties. These include doctorate of medicine, M.Ch. (Magister Chirurgi), and MD (Doctor of Medicine) programs. It also runs [[Ph.D.]] programs for basic science research and Bsc Nursing 4 years course.

==SGPGI Hospital==
The hospital is located nearly 1 km from the Institute main gate. The hospital works as a referral hospital, though patients who require treatment that SGPGI are sometimes admitted without a referral. It is a UP state government owned hospital and it is often less expensive for patients to receive care there than private hospitals of comparable quality in India.

The Institute hospital endeavors to work on an appointment system. Thus, the patients are expected to re-visit the Institute hospital only on appointed days, except in case of an emergency. Patients once seen are usually provided an appointment for any investigations, outpatient consultation, admission for treatment and surgery. The in-patient treatment at SGPGIMS hospital is highly organized and all efforts are made to reduce inconvenience to patients, that is usually the case at various government hospitals. The on-line health information system of the hospital is synchronized to the online billing system and online pharmacy. Patients are provided all medicines, consumables, surgical material etc. at the bed-side, for which the patients are charged a highly subsidised cost, in most cases- about 30-40% less than the MRP.

SGPGI does not care for general medical emergencies but it takes patients related to the university specialties. Sometimes patients are referred to SGPGI through other hospitals.

==Other facilities==
The campus has several facilities for patients and their attendants. These include:
*PRA: Patients' relatives' accommodation, available to relatives of patients admitted to the hospital, on payment basis.
*Vishramalaya: A daytime facility for outpatients and relatives with lockers, a place to relax, a restaurant, bathrooms, toilets, etc.
*Cafeteria, bank, post office, shops for drugs and medical consumables.
