Goa Medical College (GMC) is a medical college and hospital in Goa, India. It was built during Portuguese rule in 1842 as the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de (Nova) Goa (Medical-Surgical School of Goa). It is one of the oldest medical colleges in Asia.[6][7][8] JIPMER in 1823, Calcutta Medical College in 1835 and Stanley Medical College in 1838 are India's three older medical colleges. These were built by the erstwhile British Raj.[9] The college also has one of the oldest medical libraries (since 1845).[10]

Originally located in Panjim,at the present Inox theater area.The college was moved to Alto-Bambolim in 1993. The college has been under Goa University since 1986 before which it was under the Bombay University.[11] The Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour (Bambolim), the TB and Chest Disease Hospital (St. Inez), The Rural Health and Training Centre (Mandur) and the Urban Health Centre (St. Cruz) form parts of the Establishment. The college is affiliated to Goa University, and offers the MBBS course, several MS and MD courses, and some super-specializations.

The area in between these colleges has shops and vendors selling home-made food, groceries, refreshments, coconut water etc...with a Hanuman temple as a cental-area landmark.
