The institution is focussing at panacea in teaching and learning to its best ability to fulfil the vision envisaged. The medical graduates are marred with partially baked knowledge and non-proficient clinical skills. These two major areas are addressed to the fullest extent at Narayana Medical College. Therefore, the “Competency-based medical education curriculum” is the buzz word in the campus. A series of essential initiatives are taken at the institution towards successfully executing the Competency-based medical education curriculum. The reinforcement of Medical Education Unit, creation of monitoring committee, Curriculum implementation committee, establishment of skill laboratory, e-learning training to faculty, are some of these initiatives.

Continuous formative assessment in the form of weekly examinations and quarterly assessments followed by immediate faculty feedback on individual student’s performance identifying the strengths and weaknesses are distinctive Educational practices for Narayana Medical College.

The Narayana Medical College is the only institution implementing the systematic foundation course and successfully assessing the impact of this course on newly admitted medical students. As a part of the Institute’s vision to prepare medical manpower to participate in the nation building, Narayana Medical College created Translational Research Centre. This centre is active in developing and assessing the health care technology and its societal usefulness. This centre also entered into agreement with the top most institutes of excellence in developing new health care devices and procedures aimed at improving the health care delivery.

Narayana Medical College is also creating space for accommodating the creative talents in fine arts among students and is also providing a channel to express their hidden talents. Students are encouraged for public speaking and a separate social media platform (YouTube Channel) is created for appreciation and encouragement. The motto of the Institution is ‘Inspiring Excellence’ for which continuous efforts are in place.
