UNQUOTE .........Alfredchacha Tavares As much as it hurts me to explode this myth about my alma mater, the medical school in Goa was not the first medical school in India, let alone Asia. The first medical college in India was École de Médicine de Pondichérry established in 1823. There were at least three other medical colleges that were established in India before Escola Médico Cirúrgica de (Nova) Goa. They were: 2. Madras Medical College in 1835 3. Medical College, Bengal in 1835 4. Stanley Medical College, Madras in 1838. The Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de (Nova) Goa was established in 1842. Cheers, Santosh
