Rangamati Medical College (RmMC) is a publicmedical school located in Rangamati, Bangladesh. The college was established in 2014. It admits 51 students every year. It offers a 5-year Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery course, which is directed under Chittagong Medical University.[2]
The government of Bangladesh established Rangamati Medical College in 2014, along with new medical colleges at Jamalpur, Manikganj, Patuakhali, Tangail, and Sirajganj.[3] Instruction began in January 2015,[4][5] with 53 students, but operations were soon suspended until the end of March as a result of vocal opposition from local groups such as Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS).[1] The groups believe that students, staff, and faculty would come predominantly from outside the Chittagong Hill Tracts, and their settlement in Rangamati would change the character of the region.[6][7][8]
