The MBBS UniKL program is a five (5) year program conducted at UniKL RCMP campus in Ipoh, Perak.

They are complemented by senior clinicians and specialists from Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh, and other hospitals in Perak who are equally enthusiastic in sharing their vast knowledge and experience with the students.

One distinctive aspect of the MBBS UniKL program is its unique curriculum which is modelled on the University of Sheffield UK MBChB medical program as well as the MBBS program of Universiti Malaya.
