formally and informally. There are a large number of specialty career paths in medicine with over 50 options available.

the field of medical education by creating dynamic educational environment at graduate and post graduate level.
May Allah help us in achieving our noble goal and provide us capability, courage and endurance to serve the nation for long
times to come.
