[edit] History
AMC began functioning in May 1979 at the Education Extension Centre in Abbottabad after a decision by the Government of Pakistan to establish another medical college outside the Peshawar region and to further aid in the development of medical health care in the Hazara and Gilgit-Baltistan region. The first batch of 100 students were accommodated at the Education Extension Centre, while the present AMC campus and teaching hospital were being constructed north of the town. The District Headquarters Hospital, Abbottabad remained affiliated to Ayub Medical College upon the opening of Ayub Teaching Hospital in 1990. On December 30, 1990 the present campus of Ayub Medical College opened its doors to students and faculty. The name of the college was chosen after former President Field Marshal Ayub Khan, who hailed from Haripur. Today AMC hosts one of the largest medical school campuses in Pakistan.[2]
