DESCRIPTION :

This College was founded by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2006. The RIMS Medical College is the dream of our former Hon`ble Chief Minister Dr.Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy. It was inaugurated on 27th September¸ 2006 by the then UPA Chair Person Smt. Sonia Gandhi. This Medical Institute started from 1st August¸ 2006. The 1st batch of undergraduates admitted entered final MBBS. The institute was constructed within a time period of 14 months in 210 acres of land with beautiful landscapes all-round.

The main objective of establishment of this institute is to improve quality health care in this backward region and make medical education accessible to all the eligible students of the region. The Government of Andhra Pradesh had taken special interest in allocation of budget to this institute¸ close monitoring of quality of construction and completion of project within given time frame. In a few institutions such an infrastructure is available in the state.

The first MCI inspection took place in 2005 and followed by another four inspections. The MCI inspectors were much pleased after seeing huge infrastructure equipment provided to the institute. The institute has passed through all the MCI inspections successfully without any interruption. The first batch of undergraduates successfully completed their Internship in this institution and awarded degree through Vice-Chancellor of Dr.NTRUHS in 2012. Specialists` services are very essential at tertiary level care hospitals like RIMS. The administrators are facing difficulty in recruiting specialist especially Radiodiagonis¸ Radiotherapy¸ Psychiatry and General Medicine.
