Eighty two years have passed from the inception of this Medical University in 1923. In addition to production of basic (undifferentiated) doctors this University has started to produce postgraduate doctors in various branches of medical specialties since 1964. By 1998, this University has reached the three tiers of the spectrum of postgraduate medical education, namely Diploma, Master and Doctorate.

Although M.B.,B.S. Curriculum was originally based on the British model, there were many changes in the curriculum over the years, in line with the changing needs of the country and the changing philosophy, concepts and technology of educational sciences. In future, there will be continuous adaptation to the ever rapidly changing and evolving medical education, producing doctors who will not only serve but lead the Health System of Myanmar.

It is indeed a privilege and an honor to be the Rector of this University at this moment and I would like to express my sincere thanks to all my teaching and administrative staff for their persistent endeavor and untiring effort in guiding this University into the new millennium with all her tradition and reputation.

I hope this d prospectus will provide the useful information about this University.
