THE FUTURE

    GCMS is actively planning to build for the future on the strong foundation described in the
    preceding pages.The College aims to be flexible and sensitive to the health manpower need
    of the country as well as to national and international agenda.GCMS will continue to be
    responsive, too, to internal and external views on the nature and content of the programmes
    it delivers and remain active in meeting identified needs for training, service, research and
    consultancy.

    The College is at present undertaking various project for expansion of its activities:

       Construction of new library, student dormitory, classrooms and science laboratories.
          The College will increase its students enrolment by 1/3 by the year 2000 when these
           capacity expansion projects are completed.

- The College has recently organized computer and information technology centre
with the intention of integrating interactive teaching and evidence based medicine
in its teaching methods by the year 2000.

     Relevant planning groups have produced preliminary documents to start new teaching
          programmes in the fields of pharmacy (diploma) Anatomy (M.Sc.), Physiotherapy (Diploma),
          Clinical epidemiology (M.Sc.) which will be certainly launched during the 2000/2001
          academic year.

Preliminary survey is underway to start extension programmes (night school) in five of
its training disciplines.

This responsiveness will develop the college to an ever integrated multidisciplinary and
inter-professional entity.
