Medical Education in Pakistan


Medical Education in Pakistan is given an important consideration from an international point of view. The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) controls medical Education in Pakistan. All Colleges that give medical education are monitored and timely inspected by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council every year.

PMDC allows colleges or universities to grant Medical education or any Graduate or PG degree or diploma provided those colleges are strictly adhering to the standards set by the PMDC.
