The School of Medical Education, a self financing college, previously run directly by Mahatma Gandhi University till 2016, came into existence in 1993 with an aim of providing trained human resources in the area of allied medical and health sciences. Now this institution is under the control of Centre for Professional and Advanced Studies (CPAS), a Society established by Government of Kerala. This is the pioneer self financing institution in the state of Kerala offering a variety of allied medical and health science courses.

The Under Graduate and Postgraduate academic programmes of the school are so designed as to prepare skilled professionals of high calibre.
