College Academics
With changing
trends the medical education needs reappraisal. Medicine across the globe has
become evidence based. With the introduction of COME (Community Oriented Medical
Education) and module based teaching most undergraduate medical institutes have
modified their schedule accordingly.
Allama Iqbal
Medical College is a rapidly progressing young institution compared to other
established medical colleges in Pakistan. Yet this college over the years has
not only caught up but has led the changing trends in medical education. This is
now proud to have an integrated teaching curriculum in live with the teaching of
modern medicine to bridge the gap between the old undergraduate style of
teaching and modern post graduate training in Pakistan. The curriculum is unique
and it offers integrated training and teaching in basic and clinical disciplines
inline with international standards.
The delivery of
medical education is a science. It requires planning, execution, monitoring &
evaluation. It requires vigilant teachers and enthusiastic students. By the
efforts of the Medical Education Cell, the college has a detailed curriculum of
training which provides structured overview of all the five years.
