National Centre for Health Professions Education (NCHPE) is a national level organization under Tribhuvan University (T.U), Institute of Medicine (IOM) committed to improve the health of the country ensuring quality health professions education by educating teachers in Nepal. Although it was officially upgraded to this form in 2009 (2066 BS), it has it’s long history of continued and consistent efforts to support its activities.
An “Education Support Unit” was established in IOM in 1986 to impart teacher’s training to its faculty members in innovations in medical education.

It was proposed that the center should mainly work in areas of:
With subsequent development, the Education Support Center was developed into the Medical Education Department (MED) in 1990 and it was moved to the MoHeGo Building.
In order to address growing concern for quality in terms of the relevance of health professions education to the health care needs of people of Nepal, a need was felt to develop a “National Centre for Health Professions Education (NCHPE)” in this country. The National consultative meeting held with the support of WHO in 2009 approved for upgrading the existing MED into “National Center for Health Professions Education (NCHPE)”.
The centre is equipped with seminar hall, library room, staff rooms, computer rooms and administrative rooms on the first floor of MoHeGo Building. It has been carrying out regular “Faculty Development Training (FDT) Workshops, Curriculum development and revision and Continuing education for the health professions teachers from both IOM and other health manpower development institutions of Nepal. The center is also coordinating the activities of ‘Skills Lab’ in Maharajgunj Medical Campus (MMC). Since 2011, the Health Learning Material Center has been merged into NCHPE. Further, it has been promoting international cooperation in medical education through coordinating and systematizing the Elective programme for Foreign Medical Students at the IOM.
