ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council<\/a> (PMDC) has issued<\/span> new academic regulations for medical and dental students in<\/span> the<\/span> country<\/span>. According to the regulations<\/span>, students need to obtain<\/span> at least 65% marks to pass and have<\/span> a minimum attendance of 85% in all medical and dental colleges.<\/p>\n

The<\/span> new<\/span> regulations<\/span> come<\/span> soon<\/span> after the University of Health Sciences<\/a> (UHS) in Punjab announced<\/span> the<\/span> same<\/span> regulations, albeit<\/span> slightly different in<\/span> requirements<\/span> –<\/span> where<\/span> the<\/span> UHS<\/span> required<\/span> 90% attendance<\/span> and a<\/span> passing score<\/span> of 70%.<\/p>\n

The UHS has<\/span> caught<\/span> attendance<\/span> of<\/span> students<\/span> as<\/span> well<\/span>,<\/span> introduced<\/span> a tracking<\/span> system to directly monitor student attendance, and<\/span> the<\/span> students<\/span>‘<\/span> respective<\/span> colleges<\/span> submit biometrics<\/span> records<\/span> on<\/span> student<\/span> attendance<\/a> every month.<\/p>\n

The PMDC new regulations are<\/span> intended<\/span> to establish<\/span> standards<\/span> of<\/span> academic standards across<\/span> a<\/span> nation<\/span> to<\/span> ensure<\/span> standards<\/span> continue<\/span> in<\/span> parity<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Previously, the UHS decided to maintain<\/span> tight<\/span> grips<\/span> on<\/span> attendance, so<\/span> they<\/span> are<\/span> seeking<\/span> an<\/span> overall<\/span> better<\/span> attendance<\/span> to improve<\/span> accountability and quality on<\/span> medical training in<\/span> Pakistan<\/span>. These are ongoing attempts<\/span> to improve medical education standards in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

These rules<\/span> highlight<\/span> the PMDC’s responsibility<\/span> to<\/span> regulate<\/span> medical education and to<\/span> ensure<\/span> that future health<\/span> workers<\/span> will<\/span> meet high<\/span> standards of<\/span> practice<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> PMDC aims to maintain the integrity and quality of all<\/span> medical degrees awarded<\/span> in Pakistan by<\/span> providing<\/span> parameters<\/span> for<\/span> passing<\/span> marks<\/span> as<\/span> well<\/span> as<\/span> attendance<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
