Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research
The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) Chandigarh
was conceived in 1960 as a center of excellence which would endeavour to develop
patterns of teaching in postgraduate medical education in as many branches
as possible and attempt to produce specialists in several disciplines of medicine.
It was also envisaged that these specialists would spread out in the country
in various medical colleges and medical institutions and impart medical education
of highest standard to the students and set up nucleus of excellence in their
own institutions. The PGIMER was also given the responsibility to broaden
the horizons of medical knowledge by intensive research in the field of health.
