These students will go through rigorous structured training including didactic teaching and hands on training. Post FCPS fellows and trainee residents for FCPS urology, nephrology, hepatology and transplantation will be inducted at post-graduate level. Fellows from other programs will rotate through our program as well to broaden their horizons.

The clinical teaching in the clinic, wards and the operating rooms will always be supervised by a consultant. This gives an opportunity to the residents and fellows to make independent decisions under supervision. Residents also participate and present in multidisciplinary meetings with radiology, pathology and oncology. All the critical thinking and decision-making will be supported by the literature and needs to be evidence based. The shortage of nurses and trained paramedical staff is a major challenge in health care delivery, not only in Pakistan but across the world. PKLI will establish a university under which a nursing school and schools of medical technicians and paramedics in various medical specialties to train required human resource in collaboration with University of Texas USA will be established. 500 students will graduate per year. | |||
