Sharif Medical and Dental College

Teaching Faculty

The faculty comprises highly qualified, competent, and devoted professionals, who are committed to provide quality medical education. The faculty is provided opportunities for regular training programs and workshops/seminars to keep themselves abreast with the latest trends and developments in medical education. The instructional strategy provides faculty members the role of group leaders and facilitators rather than being a simple source of one way knowledge. Emphasis is on active learning and interactive teaching techniques for effective learning. Future plans include establishment of a teacher training center at the campus to facilitate excellence to existing teaching/learning. An interdisciplinary double helix curriculum is ready for use in future.
