HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF
The Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore was founded by Dr. Ida Sophia Scudder, daughter of Dr.
John Scudder II, an American medical missionary. She was born on 9th December 1870 at Ranipet. The
first eight years of her life was in India with her parents. Later she went back to America for her education.
In 1890, she returned to India to attend to her ailing mother. Ida had plans to go back to U.S.A., but God’s
plans were different for Ida.
In 1891, Ida was faced with a great challenge. One night, she was approached by three men seeking help for
their young wives in labour. Ida’s father Dr. John Scudder, an experienced doctor, offered to help them. But
they refused to have a male doctor and requested young Ida to help their wives during labour. Not being a
doctor, Ida was unable to help them and the three women lost their lives. Young Ida was moved by the
death of these three young Indian women during child birth. She saw the suffering of women in India and
realized the need for women doctors to attend to the women whose traditions did not permit them to be
treated by men. She gave up the dreams of settling down in U.S.A. and answered God’s call and decided
to study medicine and serve the Indian women.
Ida went to America and obtained medical training, specializing in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. She
returned to India in 1900 and established a single bedded clinic in her father’s bungalow at Sainathapuram,
Vellore. As more and more patients started coming to her, the need for more beds and better facilities
became a necessity. In 1902, 40 bedded Mary Taber Schell Memorial Hospital was built. In 1904, Miss
Lillian Hart, a trained nurse was assigned to Schell Hospital. She was also involved in training the young
girls from villages in bed side nursing care. In 1924, the present hospital site was built with 267 beds.
The peripheral units of the hospital include Schell Eye Hospital, Low Cost Effective Care Unit (LCECU),
rural hospitals such as RUHSA and CHAD, New Life Centre for leprosy patients, Rehabilitation Centre and
Mental Health Centre. The College of Nursing Community Health (CONCH) and Urban community
programmes cater to maternal and child health services in rural and urban areas respectively. The LCECU
provides medical care for the under privileged in the urban slums of Vellore. Today, there are over 2745
beds for inpatients. Over 8000 outpatients are treated daily in the main hospital and in peripheral units.
In 1909, Miss Delia Houghton, a Registered Nurse came to India as the first instructor and started a regular
programme for training nurses. The first training school was started in 1909 with five students. This
programme, called the lower grade course, was later upgraded to higher grade training (Diploma Nursing)
in 1932. Miss Vera K. Pitman and Miss Florence Taylor were the two pioneers who raised nursing
education to a four year programme leading to a University degree affiliated to the Madras University. In
the year 1946, the first batch of B.Sc. Nursing students were admitted. A tutor course was initiated and
continued for few years which was later upgraded to Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing programme in 1967. This
programme was useful for the Diploma nurses to upgrade themselves. The M.Sc. Nursing programme was
started in 1969. Ph.D. in Nursing, affiliated to The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, Chennai,
was started in 1994. Post Basic Diploma programmes, introduced to meet the special needs of the society
are Cardio Thoracic Nursing, Critical Care Nursing, Emergency and Disaster Nursing, Neurology Nursing,
Operating Room Nursing, Neonatal Nursing, Oncology Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing, Orthopaedic &
Rehabilitation Nursing and Geriatric Nursing, which are recognized by Indian Nursing Council (INC).
Burns Nursing and Renal Nursing are Institutional programmes. Fellowship courses in Family Nurse
Practice, Haematology Nursing, Respiratory Nursing and Paediatric Critical Care Nursing were started after
2005.
The College of Nursing is publishing a biannual, registered National Nursing Journal titled “Indian Journal
of Continuing Nursing Education” (IJCNE) since 2000. It is an online free access journal published by
Wolters Kluwer (www.ijcne.org). Training programmes sponsored by WHO for the South East Asian
7
Region (SEAR) were conducted in Community Health Nursing, Midwifery Education & Development and
Adult Nursing. A National Training Programme in ‘Emergency and Trauma Nursing’ sponsored by WHO
was offered to trainees from different parts of India. Recognizing the contributions of College of Nursing
in preparing quality health care personnel, it was designated as a “WHO Collaborating Centre” for Nursing
and Midwifery Development in 2003.
In the year 2000, the Government of India has also recognized College of Nursing, CMC., Vellore as an
“Institute of Excellence in India”. In 2006 it was also certified as a study centre for National Ph.D.
Consortium by Indian Nursing Council and WHO. College of Nursing had been a sub-recipient of Global
Funding for AIDS/HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) since 2008. This programme was conducted
by Indian Nursing Council in consultation with NACO to train nurses in India. The year 2009 was marked
as Centennial year of formal nursing education in College of Nursing, CMC., Vellore.
In 2014, College of Nursing, CMC, Vellore has started short term courses in six different specialities for
staff nurses working in government hospitals, as per the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the
Government of Madhya Pradesh. A distance education programme on “Stoma Care Nursing” was initiated
in 2014. College of Nursing has been recognized by INC to be the Master Trainers for Simulation Training
since 2019. Additionally, two more short term courses (Peritoneal Dialysis and Chemotherapy) are started
from 2020. The College also has MOUs with Universities abroad such as Universities of Washington, New
York, Pennsylvania, Kansas, USA and Yonsei, South Korea.
Christian Medical College, Vellore has started a College of Nursing for B.Sc. Nursing programme at CMC
Vellore Chittoor Campus 2019. Two batches are admitted.
A 1500 bed campus has culminated in the commencement of a multispeciality hospital and teaching facility
at Kannigapuram which is located 12 km from the town campus, Vellore. Six super specialities will be
moving to this campus in a phased manner in the near future.
The College of Nursing as an integral part of the CMC, Vellore, has the same objective and philosophy as
that of the Christian Medical College Vellore Association which is “The establishment, maintenance and
development of Christian Medical College in India, where women and men shall receive an education of
the highest grade in the art and science of medicine, nursing or one of the other related professions, to
equip them in the spirit of Christ, for service in the relief of suffering and in the promotion of health”.
The College of Nursing prepares nurses with compassion, commitment and dedication. The students and
staff are expected to maintain the highest standard in their professional and private lives. The staff and
students of CMC have been inspired and guided through the years by the motto given to the institution by
Dr. Ida S. Scudder “NOT TO BE MINISTERED UNTO BUT TO MINISTER”. In accordance with the
purpose for which the College has been founded, the faculty believes in providing a professional education
integrating Christian ideals. Nursing education at CMC continues to beat its best for its quality education
which in turn helps to provide quality patient care.
