During the later part of
British Raj, it was felt that what was then Campbell Medical School of
Calcutta and
Mitford Medical School of
Dhaka were unable to cater the needs of the growing population. As a result, in 1924 the
Earl of Lytton, then-governor of Bengal, established the school in Mymensingh under the name "Lytton Medical School". As a four-year college for the Licentiate of Medical Faculty (LMF). This course of LMF continued till 1962, when the undergraduate course length was increased to five years under
Dhaka University and the school was renamed as Mymensingh Medical College. ==Journal==
