Principal’s Message

Prof. Dr. Saeed Ullah
MBBS, DLO, FRCS

As the founding principal of Northwest School of Medicine (NWSM), it is a matter of great honor for me to address you.

The improvement of health care system in any community depends, to a great extent, on the quality of Medical Education. We have a growing demand for quality doctors in Pakistan and especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The Public Sector Medical Colleges have been unable to meet that demand. As a result, several private medical institutions have been established in KP in the last decade. We feel that the general standard of medical education, both in public and private sectors, in KP, and all over Pakistan, is lagging far behind international institutes. Our dream has been the establishment of a medical institution in this province, which would be second to none in the whole country.

The establishment of NWSM is the realization of that dream. We have been working hard in the last few years towards the fulfillment of that dream. However, this is only the first step of a long journey. We have a very efficient and dedicated medical faculty. The corner stone of our policy at NWSM will be merit. Our aim is to built the best institution possible as per our legacy. Towards the achievement of this goal, apart from the blessings of Allah Almighty, we will need hard work from our students and cooperation of their parents.

Medical education has evolved tremendously in the last few years and the corner stone for development of any medical institution is a properly staffed, dedicated, and efficient Department of Medical Education (DME). In NWSM we have one of the best DME in the country. Our DME has been working full me in the last one year to develop the curriculum and to train our medical faculty in the latest methods of medical teaching and assessment.

In the end, I would like to congratulate you on your decision to choose NWSM to pursue your medical career. May Allah Almighty help us in achievement of all our goals.
Amen.
