Turning a new leaf in medical education

It has been our pleasure to collaborate with the Shalamar Medical and Dental college in enriching their existing MBBS program, by adding an extra year to the five years of the regular training. This inaugural year promises to enrich students' medical training with grounding in fundamental inquiries in life sciences, with the hope to unlock in to-be clinicians, an innate sense of curiosity, love for discovery and the inclination towards research.

Read the full story of this initiative here spearheaded by our Department of Life Sciences.

This is undoubtedly the first partnership of its kind between the clinical and scientific educational sectors in Pakistan, and we can only guess what directions it takes in the years to come; but it can surely fill important gaps in clinical education, can stoke new discussions, and enrich or even invent new areas of exploration in the noble cause of saving human lives.

The focal person for this partnership on our side is Dr. Muhammad Tariq who has also envisaged and led its founding.
