Vellore FRCR

What is the Vellore FRCR?

The Vellore FRCR 2B course is run to help candidates from the Indian Subcontinent pass their FRCR Exam and is to support the work of Friends of Vellore UK who raise money for The Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore. 

The Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore was founded in 1900 as a one-room clinic by Dr. Ida S. Scudder, the only daughter of second-generation American missionaries. Its is also the Alma-Mata of Dr Koshy Jacob, our course director who graduated from there in 1993. 

People from around the world visit CMC to get world-class care, delivered with honesty, fairness, compassion, and integrity. CMC’s excellence continues with advances in research and an evolving curriculum aimed at transforming India’s promising medical students into creative and compassionate healthcare providers.

CMC has come a long way from its humble start as a one-room clinic, growing into one of India’s most prestigious private hospitals and medical schools. Today, CMC cares for over two million patients and trains one thousand doctors, nurses and other medical professionals each year.
