 Opening
its doors in 2000, the College has come a long way in a short span of time.
Affiliated with University of Health Sciences and recognised by the Pakistan Medical &
Dental Council (PMDC) in its first year of existence, it is offering quality education to talented, motivated
and deserving students. The College has a purpose built building and contains
latest equipment and teaching aids. A well-stocked library and a computer lab
constitute our Learning Resource Centre. The curriculum of the college is as
laid down by Pakistan Medical and Dental Council. The FMH College of Medicine & Dentistry endeavours to continuously
improve the curriculum.
 The
FMH College of Medicine & Dentistry is the only college of its kind in the
private sector that is being run on a not for profit basis. All the income generated
from the college is channelled towards providing health care to patients who
would otherwise not have been able to afford proper medical treatment. It is
also used to provide financial assistance to deserving students on the basis of
merit and need, after careful scrutiny. Recently, the college has also offered a
privately funded
scholarship
to a disadvantaged student from Upper Dir, (N.W.F.P.). Imran Khan, a bright and
intelligent young adult was awarded the scholarship because of his outstanding
results, his interpersonal and communication skills, his extra-curricular
activities, his inability to pay for further education, and his desire to return
to Dir and serve his own community. It is hoped that eventually 30 to 50% of the
student body will comprise of brilliant, deserving and motivated students from
rural areas, who will be awarded need based scholarships, so as to create a
cadre of doctors who will serve rural communities. The FMH College of Medicine
& Dentistry looks forward to more scholarships being granted by individuals
in the private sector, so that deserving students like Imran Khan can fulfil
their own dreams, as well as Pakistan’s, by becoming qualified doctors and
dentists and serving their people.
