History

Main College Building

The University College of Medical Sciences was founded in the year 1971 by the efforts of the then Health Minister of [ Delhi]]. The Health Ministry proposed to provide medical education to every student who attained the eligibility criteria and wished to become a doctor, but it still caused a 150 or so students to be left out, even with the presence of two Medical Colleges in Delhi - MAMC and LHMC. In the year 1971 classes for the new college initially started in the makeshift Department of Chemistry, Delhi University, North Campus. The students back then had their clinical postings (practicals) at the Meerut Medical College. Shortly afterwards, it was shifted to the Safdarjung Hospital in South Delhi. In 1986, UCMS shifted to its present location at Dilshad Garden and was associated with Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, a 1500 bedded institution, as its teaching hospital. UCMS and GTB Hospital has its own 'Kulgeet' meant to be sung at solemn functions. It has been penned by Prof Shridhar Dwivedi, ex-HOD, Medicine and presently Dean of HIMSR, Delhi. The song has been rendered by Dr Ujjawal Roy, an alumnus of the institute.
