(2008 A.D.) with the charter granted by the Parliament of Nepal.[1] The stated aim of the PAHS is to work in close partnership with the national health system to improve the health care services in the remote/rural areas primarily through producing technically competent and socially responsible health care workers.

PAHS preferentially enrolls students from rural areas and trains them in curriculum that emphasizes on community health and is subsequently provides support for its graduates who work in the rural areas.[3]
History
[edit]In 1954, the United Mission to Nepal (UMN), an international cooperation of Christian organizations, founded Shanta Bhawan Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, as a pioneering autonomous hospital to serve the underprivileged people of Nepal. In 1982, the hospital merged with Lalitpur Hospital to form Patan Hospital at its present locatio[4]n. PAHS was established in 2064 B.S. (2008 A.D.) with the charter granted by the Parliament of Nepal.[5] by an Act.[6] PAHS has its own constitution passed by the parliament of Nepal, under the name Patan Academy of Health Sciences Act, 2008.[6]
Academics
[edit]PAHS has MBBS course duration of 6 years unlike rest of the universities in Nepal.[7] PAHS also has international tie up for the clinical placement such as The University of Sydney.[8] It has also started its own School of Nursing, which runs nursing programs of all levels including PCL, BN, BSc Nursing and Masters in Nursing. It also run its own School of Public Health, and post graduate course in clinical sciences.
Curriculum Design
[edit]PAHS is implementing a highly progressive curriculum, modeled after modern curricula used by a growing number of Western medical schools. The curriculum at PAHS focuses on community health, the values of service and altruism, and the health of the entire population, to enhance students’ sensitivity to the health care needs of the rural poor.
Locations for Clinical Training
[edit]To supplement the core training in Patan Hospital, PAHS students are assigned to clinical postings at rural hospitals and health care centers throughout the diverse ethnic landscape of Nepal, with an emphasis on regions with disadvantaged populations. Students begin these rotations in their first year at PAHS and continue them throughout their medical education. Students’ experiences at these community postings will reinforce the principles of social responsibility and compassion that the PAHS curriculum is designed to instill in them. At the remote postings, students live with local villagers and learn to overcome the apprehensions associated with working with limited resources in unfamiliar cultures.
The hospitals and health care centers where students complete these rotations are carefully chosen to ensure that students have positive learning experiences. PAHS faculty and staff give the students careful guidance and moral support, in addition to providing them with practical knowledge.
