What to do after graduation?

When you arrive your home, Pakistan, after getting your

 Medical degree, you must be very happy that you have achieved your main goal. But the real life begins from here, many students think that they should get rest in their homes for few months, but this is not a good idea as you would lose your fresh skills while staying away from the medical environment.

You should check for the date of upcoming PMDC (Pakistan Medical & Dental Council)  examination, and if its few months later, you should try to join any hospital for internship/observership/clinical attachment. This will help to build your clinical knowledge and skills. If the exam is just a month or so away, just prepare for the exam by revising your university lectures or any other helpful material, because one month isn't enough to revise the whole books. You just need the points to be revised, as the exam is objective type and it includes only MCQs. You will know the pattern of pmdc exam while you go through this site.

For a Medical foreign graduate, it is necessary to get himself registered with PMDC , to start his practice. In order to get registered with PMDC, all graduates must undergo examination held by NEB (National Examination Board). The examination is held twice an year, usually in March/April and in Sep/Oct, according to the published notification.

All foreign graduates must have to pass NEB examination in order to get R.M.P. Here is a list of Recognized universities/colleges in Pakistan, by the PMDC.

Three important points mentioned in the new PMDC Regulations 2008:

73. One year house job in clinical subjects in PM&DC approved hospitals is required for conversion of Provisional Registration into Full Registration.
74. Clinical work /resident training of one year duration abroad is also acceptable.
75. The clinical work / house job done before award of degree as part of studies in case of foreign graduates of Pakistani nationality who qualify National Examination Board shall not be acceptable for full registration. One year housejob after provisional registration as supra shall be required.
