Medical Colleges in Pakistan

Medical is an age-old profession. But its charm has never diminished. In Pakistan also the doctors command tremendous respect for their service to the community. Moreover students who can successfully complete their medical education from a recognized medical college in Pakistan can be sure of having a secured job throughout their life. As the number of students aspiring for an MBBS or BDS degree is very high, getting a seat in a medical college in Pakistan is not always easy.

While the MBBS course in Pakistan is of five years duration, the BDS course is of four years duration. Moreover one can also pursue master's degree and research in various medical colleges of Pakistan.
In order to cater to the growing demand of medical professionals, the government has set up medical colleges in various parts of Pakistan. From 1970s it has also started encouraging the formation of private medical colleges in Pakistan. There are at present 32 medical colleges in the public sector and 36 medical colleges in private sector leading the total number of recognized medical colleges in Pakistan to 68. However there may be some other medical colleges in Pakistan, which are waiting recognition.

he Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) is the statutory autonomous organization that is responsible for marinating standard of medical education in Pakistan. The PMDC also lays down the minimum qualification for the appointment of teachers in various medical colleges of Pakistan. For admission to a medical college of the public sector, the provincial government conducts an entry test. The performance of the candidates in the entry test would carry 50% weight age, the performance at the Intermediate level would carry 40% weight age and performance at the Metric level would carry 10% weight age. However, private sector medical colleges in Pakistan may conduct their own entry test.

On this page we are providing a list of all the recognized medical colleges of Pakistan. This list includes medical colleges of both the public sector and the private sector.
