In 1875, a large-hearted Briton Dr. Stewart, the then Civil Surgeon of Cuttack, mooted out the idea of starting a medical school utilizing the existing hospital known as Cuttack General Hospital (1874) as an infrastructural nucleus. He was ably assisted by Mr. T. Ravenshaw and Sir Richard Temple and thus the Odisha Medical School was born in 1875. In 1916-17, the Odisha Medical School was affiliated to Bihar & Odisha Medical Examination Board.
Maharaja Krishna Chandra Gajapati Narayan Dev founded the first University, i.e. Utkal Univrsity on 27th of November, 1943. After establishment of the University, many eminent persons of Odisha put their efforts to form the medical school to a Medical College in 1943 and the Degree of this Medical College was recognised in 1952 with retrospective effect.
