The grand ambition of establishing the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is reflected in the Tree of Knowledge of UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, initiated by the founders of UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang.

The process of establishing the medical education program at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, was a long and winding road. It took at least seven years from the initial planning stage. 2009 by Prof. Dr. H. Imam Suprayogo as the Chancellor of UIN Maliki Malang at that time.

Since its institutional status changed to a university in 2004, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang has had the primary task of organizing higher education programs in Islamic religious studies and general sciences. In the preparation of the UIN Malang Plan and Strategy for the 2005-2010 period, the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences was included in one of the long-term plans. The realization of the UIN Malang Strategic Plan began in 2010 with the submission of a proposal for the formation of civil servant lecturers in the field of Medicine and Health Sciences. Recruitment and appointment of civil servant lecturers and permanent non-civil servant lecturers continued until 2015.

In 2010, Prof. Dr. H Mudjia Raharjo, M.Si. who was then still the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs formed a Preparation Team for the Establishment of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences with Prof. Dr. dr.

The consultation lasted for 2 years and resulted in proposals for the establishment of the Pharmacy Study Program, the Medical Education Study Program, the Dentistry Education Study Program, Nursing Study Program, and the Public Health Study Program. The proposal was then submitted to the Director General of Islamic Higher Education at the Ministry of Religious Affairs for a recommendation.

However, according to the Ministry of National Education at that time, the opening of the Medical Education, Dentistry Education, Nursing, and Public Health Study Programs was currently suspended (moratorium), so only the Pharmacy Study Program at that time received approval.
