Pramukhswami Medical College (PSMC) was established in 1987 and is affiliated to the Sardar Patel University. It has been accorded recognition by the Medical Council of India (MCI). It admits 100 students every year for a five-and-a-half year course (including one year of compulsory internship) culminating in a Bachelor of Medicine degree and a Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree. It also offers Post Graduate Courses in eighteen broad specialities, with total intake of 49 Degree (MD/MS) seats and 21 Post Graduate Diploma seats.

PSMC differs from other medical colleges in the way the curriculum is designed. It lays more emphasis on integrated teaching and learning, thereby ensuring that the information given is neither fragmented nor repetitive but is complete and thorough in every way.
