The RDC alumni was established on Nov 16th 2009 and has consistently remained active till date. It has emerged as a strong association with active participation by all the members. Our RDC alumni database plays special emphasis to sorting of students as per their location, pursuing higher studies, working abroad, owning clinic, job status and also based on their extra-curricular activities and passion. We have several groups of this committees like “ Royalites Abroad” “RDC Clinic Owner Association”, “Royal International Alumni Career Guidance Cell”, “Alumni Clinic Placement Cell”, RDC Clinic Owners Alumni”.
An innovative idea of “Virtual Postings At Alumni Clinic” introduced at RDC allows 2 members each from internship to get virtual posting at any alumni clinic which allows them to experience how general practice is done in clinics.
