| Additional Information | |
| KUMS came into existence officially on the 7th of September, 2001 with the goal of producing technically competent and socially responsible physicians willing and able to deal with existing and emerging health needs of Nepali people, especially those living in rural areas. While the goal is worthwhile, it is also a daunting task and effective realization of this goal demands, among other things, a sound expertise in organizational management and academic program management. Since these are the area where the KUMS leadership feel the need to enhance their expertise in, the support is sought from ANMF. There is an opportunity for training at the School of Medicine, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.
