hey there, i'm usman zakir shaikh. i'm a second year student in services institute of medical sciences,lahore.This is gonna be long since nobody has really talked a lot about this college!! As is obvious, this is a relatively new medical college being operational with effect of 2003. one batch has graduated,the next one will be next years january. Well, i was a student of saudi arabia(manrat al riyadh) and did my IGCSE(o level) and GCE A Level from there and i had straight A's in my recquired IGCSE's and A level exams and got an equivilence of 935. Because of that i was determined to get into KE,nothing less!! However after spending two years here in this college, let me tell u that although we don't have a huge independant campus, our Professors,AP's,Demonstrators etc all are great doctors and teachers that have graduated from King Edward,Allama iqbal,FJMC etc, all recognized colleges from a long time. our lecture halls are big enough for the 150 students admitted every year and our attached hospital,services hospital, is a great teaching hospital and has recently been upgraded by the government and receives adequate funds to take care of thousands of pateints (that give us immense clinical exposure for practice) every day. Our new campus is not complete yet however it will be by next year hopefully if not definetly next year, and when it is it'll be next to several medical institutes making it a complete 'modern medical complex'. So to sum it up, our teachers and hospital are great , however our campus is a drawback as it is not really upto the mark(currently it is at 6-birdwood road, lahore, old Allama iqbal medical college campus, Lahore), but students do get adapted and its all about making the right friends. Although it is recognized by PMDC and affliated with UHS, it still awaits recognition by ECFMG which hopefully will be done before i graduate !! hope it was helpful, good luck with your future and let me know if u need any more info!! salam !!
