Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University was founded based on a letter with approval no. 2030 dated 23/03/1428 Hijri from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Head of the Ministerial Council and the head of the Higher Education Council, regarding creating new colleges and universities around the kingdom. Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz university adopted the establishment of a College of Medicine in Al Kharj region, where the college study started in the academic year 1429\1430 H (2009).

Many batches have graduated from college. Most of the graduates have joined eminent centers of residency programs, and many have been recruited in academic positions in the college. The college recruits excellent faculty members who have PhD or equivalent and diverse experiences in their specialties. The college, represented in its faculty members, students, and administration, seeks to provide a unique educational experience for students through continuous innovation in its curriculum and medical research that contributes to the improvement of the health sector.

Since curricula should be dynamic and sensitive to societal changes and demands, as well as global orientation and insights, the college launched a new competency-based, integrated, hybrid PBL curriculum. These innovative educational strategies have proven to equip graduates with competencies that help them provide better healthcare services after graduation.
