Messages from Leadership

“Our founding commitment is to nurture world-class physicians grounded in scientific inquiry, clinical excellence, and unwavering human compassion.”

Healthcare professionals are the cornerstone of a resilient nation. When we established Dhaka Central International Medical College (DCIMC) in 2011 at the heart of Shyamoli, Dhaka, our vision was clear: to build an institution of truly international standards that unites rigorous medical education with comprehensive tertiary patient care.

Today, backed by our attached 500-bed Dhaka Central International Medical College & Hospital (DCIMCH), state-of-the-art laboratories, a rich medical library, and a distinguished body of 118+ dedicated faculty members, DCIMC stands as a proud academic home for talented Bangladeshi students and over 200 international students from India, Nepal, and beyond.

As Chairman of the Governing Body, I warmly welcome prospective medical students, parents, and scholars to explore our campus and join us in shaping an ethical, compassionate future for global healthcare.

“Medical education is a lifelong covenant of knowledge, bedside empathy, and clinical discipline.”

Welcome to Dhaka Central International Medical College (DCIMC), affiliated with the prestigious University of Dhaka and recognized by the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BM&DC) as well as listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID: F0003459).

Our 5-year MBBS program—followed by a 1-year compulsory rotating internship at our 500-bed teaching hospital—strictly follows the competency-based BM&DC curriculum across four integrated phases. From cadaveric dissection and modern para-clinical laboratories to intensive bedside clinical clerkships, our students learn directly from experienced professors and practicing clinicians.

Equally important, we foster research through the biannual peer-reviewed DCIMC Medical Journal and uphold a disciplined, inclusive, and secure campus and hostel environment where local and foreign students thrive side by side.

“Strong foundational sciences, regular mentorship, and disciplined attendance build confident doctors.”

At DCIMC, every medical student receives structured academic mentorship from day one of Phase I through the Final Professional MBBS Examination. Small-group tutorials, interactive practical sessions, periodic item and card assessments, and clinical case presentations ensure no student is left behind.

Our Academic Council continuously monitors teaching quality, student welfare, and examination readiness, preparing our graduates to excel in University of Dhaka professional examinations as well as international licensing pathways including FMGE/NExT, NMC Nepal, USMLE, and PLAB.
