Dr. Sateesh Arja - Dean of Avalon University

“To quote Hippocrates, ‘If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.’ This quote emphasizes the importance of prevention and primary care. Avalon University’s vision is based on this quote. Our mission is to prepare competent physicians who can pursue their careers either in primary care or any specialty.”
