MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN SHARIF TRUST AND ITTEFAQ HOSPITAL TRUST

Self-reliant, empathetic and diligent youth shall be a vanguard in our journey leading to national integrity, prosperity and sovereignty.

Sharif Medical and Dental College, Lahore is located in the outskirts of the city, with a state of the art tertiary care facility, Sharif Medical City Hospital. The Institute has highly qualified faculty, who excel in their practice and clinical abilities. The institution promises an enriching, exciting and fulfilling experience for its students and trainees.

Medical career at a good medical institution is the choice and desire of the aspiring applicants to an institution. The practice of medicine is a very demanding field and is not just a career, but a profession having multiple foci to attend to. It is a process of evolution of personalities and training of the budding doctors, based on integrated and interdisciplinary teaching. The medical doctors are expected to thread their clinical practice with good communication skills, critical thinking, medical ethics with special emphasis on research and teaching skills.

Medical students are advised to acquire knowledge designed to foster excellence giving due to its ethical perspective to serve the ailing diligently. Additional responsibility on future healers is to keep abreast with latest advances in medical education. It is expected of them to be familiar with the art of effective teamwork with vital and complementary role of paramedics, nurses, social workerand physiotherapists.

My advice to the faculty and the administrative staff at Sharif Medical and Dental College, Lahore is to design and educational program that would prepare future leaders in medicine with focus not merely on transfer of technical skills and knowledge to the students but also on inculcating the values of empathy & being humane into their personalities.
