In partnership with RCSI and UCD,
Penang Medical College (PMC) has been providing the highest quality medical education to
internationally recognised standards since 1996. The first graduation
ceremony took place in 2001. Since then, over a thousand doctors have
graduated from PMC joining a global community of world-class doctors. PMC
graduates have taken up senior positions in countries as diverse as
Malaysia, Ireland, Australia, the United States, Brunei, New Zealand and the
United Kingdom. A report by the Institute for Health Systems Research, Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, House Officer Performance in Malaysia 2009-2011, placed
PMC among the top medical schools in preparing their graduate doctors for
their early careers.

The medical programme at PMC is a partnership of the Royal College of Surgeons in
Ireland (RCSI) and University College Dublin (UCD). RCSI and UCD are two of
Ireland’s oldest and most prestigious medical schools.
The PMC campus is centrally
located on two sites close to the heart of Georgetown and within a
five-minute walk of Penang General Hospital, where most of the clinical
teaching takes place.
Located at the Sepoy Lines grounds, a four-storey academic complex houses
the modern facilities essential for training medical professionals. It
includes a 200-seat lecture theatre, multimedia room, video conferencing
facilities, research laboratory, student study areas, cafeteria and surau.
The historic former Penang Home building, library, clinical skills
laboratory, canteen, recreation rooms and student centre are at the
Residency Road grounds, located beside Penang General Hospital.
