Teaching Hospitals and Community Practice Areas

The clinical training programme of the faculty is primarily carried out in Teaching Hospital Anuradhapura (THA), the third-largest hospital in the country, as the affiliated teaching hospital.

In 2021, it served 110,871 and 135,072 individuals on an out-patient and in-patient basis respectively. In addition to THA, clinical training conducts at Teaching Hospital Polonnaruwa as the second affiliated teaching hospital. Both the teaching hospitals affiliated with the faculty are very rich in a wide variety of clinical materials for training.

The extensive community practice area of the faculty including Medical Officer of Health (MOH) areas of Nuwaragampalatha Central (NPC), Nuwaragampalatha East (NPE), Thalawa, and Mihinthale consists of a socio-economically diverse population that enables comprehensive primary and preventive care training for the undergraduates.
