| MADURAI MEDICAL COLLEGE (MMC) |
The emblem of Madurai Medical College (MMC) features a Staff of Hermes or Staff of Caduceus with a pair of wings and entwined by a pair of serpents crested by a fish and supported by a banner inscribed with its motto ‘Seek Learn Serve’ and ensconced by a golden circular border inscribed with the name of the college and its place. The staff with the snake has long been a symbol of medicine and the medical profession. It originates from the story of Asclepius, who was revered by the ancient Greeks as a god of healing and whose cult involved the use of snakes. The fish refers to the erstwhile Pandya Kingdom of Madurai. The colour gold symbolises wealth, prosperity, power, prestige and achievement.
