i give u the sincerest advice ever offered as a fellow human being. DO NOT go to IIMC rawalpindi. this institute is corrupt to the core with wrinkly old peverted ex army staff as your professors who suffer from an inferiority complex. if u do not posses a father or an uncle who is in the military as a high ranking officer, then they will make your stay a living hell. the teaching is next to nothing, the professors tell u not to read bd chaurasia, but the entire exm comes from it. anatomy is about 75 percent of the course. physiology is taught well by the only genuine professor in the whole faculty, brig. hameed. biochem teaching is non existant with each professor reading extracts from harpers and mushtaq for 2 hrs 2 times a week!
In this institute i could not talk to my fellow female collegues, as i would run the risk of being failed at vivas etc. but army staff kids used to openly go to chinese whorehouses in islamabad and they got rewarded with rankingt positions!!!
THIS INSTITUTE IS TOTALLY BOGUS, A CORRUPT MONEY MAKING MACHINE. IF U WANT TO SAVE UR MONEY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOUR TIME KEEP WELL AWAY!!! THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER NON CORRUPT GOOD MED UNIS IN THIS PINDI ISLAMABAD AREA, LIKE SHIFA, RMC AND WAH. STAY AWAY FROM IIMC [ Foul Language Edited ]
Let's please keep this thread related only to medical colleges in Pakistan which are approved by the United States. If you would like to discuss any admissions related questions, please start a new thread or post in the thread regarding MBBS admissions for 2007. Thanks everyone!
ok, I've checked most of these colleges websites and many of them only have a minimum requirement of 60 % marks on the IBCC conversion...(at least that's what's written on their websites)... is this true? Or cud it be that the minimum requirement is higher?
60 percent is the minimum requirement, period. Below 60 %, no med college woould consider your application. Moreover, one still needs beyond 60% (probably in 70s and 80s) to be considered within competitive ground , though i must say foreigners can get around with lower percentages too
Sorry below 60 %, one have to look into something else... at least this is what i know
hi.
can u pls send me the list of WHO and MCI recognised colleges in pakistan.
Also which among the following is the best coll:
FATIMA JINNA MED COLL
KING EDWARD MED COLL
AYUB MED COLL
CHANDKA MED COLL
NISHTAR MED COLL
PESHAWER MED COLL
RAWALPINDI MED COLL
aamskhan, your inquiry about the rating of the colleges has already been posted on the website, it's just scattered around...plesase try using the "SEARCH" option; just give yourself time, search around and you'll find your answer quicker than you think. If you would have searched around you would have noticed that there are threads containing information regarding certain colleges in Pakistan for example, KEMU, Shifa, and Nister have there own specific threads. So please look through the threads and you'll find out what people have to say about it.
Since people have already put their time and energy in answering the same question that you have asked, it would not be fair to just post a question, withoug searching first and wait that someone will answer the question when it has already been posted. Good luck!
The International Medical Education Directory (IMED) provides an accurate and up-to-date resource of information about international medical schools that are recognized by the appropriate government agency in the countries where the medical schools are located. The agency responsible for this recognition in most countries is the Ministry of Health. Medical schools that are recognized by the appropriate agencies in their respective countries are listed in the International Medical Education Directory.
A medical school is listed in IMED after FAIMER receives confirmation from the Ministry of Health or other appropriate agency that the medical school is recognized by the Ministry or other agency. FAIMER also updates the International Medical Education Directory as information about medical schools is received from Ministries of Health or other appropriate agencies.
So isnt it that they copy pasted the list of pmdc approved colleges?
thats the only criteria they have: being approved by the relevant local authorities
hey every1.. im new to dis forum n wz just goin thru da list of USMLE approved med skoolz in pak u ppl have posted... n i found out dat DIMC is not dere.. infact DIMC is not even in the list of IMED or FAIMER or ECFMG..
plz dont confuse DIMC wid DMC because deez 2 r different medical colleges.. altho affiliated wid da same university i.e. DUHS
i hav applied in DIMC but after i got 2 knw dat itz nowhere in deez lists im too confused.. plz tel me iz dere a chance dat DIMC vil b approved 4 USMLE within 3 4 years? az u can appear in USMLE step 1 in ur 4th year of mbbs n im planning to do da same..
Dow International Medical College (DIMC) and Dow Medical College (DMC) are the same institutions....it's just that DIMC is an addition to DMC; just another building and campus for Internationalstudents; who basically one day plan to go back to their nationals for practice. According to DMC, the addition was created especially for International students so they will not have any problem adjusting (they will have problems adjusting...mark my words!) According to their statement international students will have better facilities and environment..."Separate hostels with A/C and other facilities are available for boys and girls, with full security." I don't know if this is true or not since I have not visited that campus myself...now it makes sense that since DMC is US approved so obviously DIMC is approved as well.
This question was briefly answered in a different thread but since you probably didn't searched around before asking, I am posting it here with a few words added and edited. Now this is what I know...if you are not satisfied you can always contact the institution directly and ask them this question, okay so hope this helps
hey junnat thanx a lot 4 ur detailed reply.. actually i did a bit of search in other threadz az vel but den again everywhere either ppl ver saying dat DIMC is a part of DMC (da same thing u just said) or dey dint even know abt it.. and abt d idea of calling dem.. well itz very difficult 2 contact sum1 of high authority in dow az dey all r too bzy in admission processes deez dayz n do not repond properly to my calls or even visits..
also.. wen DIMC (altho being a part of DMC) iz separately recognized by PMDC, shudnt it b separately approved 4 USMLE az vel? even SMC is a part of DUHS now but still it iz separately recognized by PMDC n approved 4 USMLE..
actually im not an international student.. i liv in khi.. n DIMC duz hav sum seats 4 d local studentz az vel.. n since i cudnt get in2 dow/smc.. da only option i hav left iz DIMC.. but another prob wid DIMC iz dat dey dont have a hospital yet (altho dey say in da prospectus dat dey hav a small 250 bedded hospital n dey'll upgrade it to 500 bedded one widin 2 yrz) but i visited da campus recently n found no hospital over dere.. altho da campus itself iz really nice.. but i dont think itz wise enough 2 trust our paki government dat dey vil provide us wid a well established hospital widin 2 yrz so dat v can do our clinicalz properly wen v cum in da 3rd yr of MBBS..
after evaluating all da pointz.. im a bit confused b/w zmu (ziauddin medical university) and DIMC.. plz tel me which institution wud b better 4 me? if i wish to appear in USMLE during my mbbs.. ??
All the schools which are USMLE approved are listed above. Any school approved by the US is also approved for USMLE.
As far as transferring from a Pakistani medical college to a US one, it is generally not possible to transfer due to the huge difference in timing of curriculum, insane competitiveness of US schools, and the fact that all US medical schools require completion of a bachelors degree prior to gaining admission.
How came Services Institute of Medical Sciences,Lahore (recognized institutions.....) is recognized in the PD&MC list but not in the this list above ( medstudentz.com list)
Is it really accredited or will it be accredited soon.
Until FAIMER lists it on their site as being fully accredited we don't list it on our site as being approved as a school from where you can graduate and be eligible to take the United States board exams (USMLEs).
You can contact FAIMER to ask whether the school will be approved in the near future or not. This may also depend on whether Pakistan's Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education have communicated their desire to see this school be approved and put on the list.
If it is not on the FAIMER list (and subsequently not on our list) I would not assume that you will be able to graduate from there and be able to practice in the US.
