The Sargodha medical college was established in 2006 as the constituent college of University of Sargodha. It is the only public sectormedical school in Sargodha. For a first few years, the classes were arranged in different university lecture halls and a block of university was named after the college to temporarily accommodate the college and its administration till its own building was completed.
The institute's academic building was completed in 2011 and inaugurated by the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yousaf Raza Gillani. The district headquarters hospital in Sargodha was attached as the teaching hospital of this college and upgraded it to the tertiary care level. The college operates under the administrative control Faisalabad Medical University
