“Whoever treads a path in search of knowledge, Allah
shall ease a way for him to the Garden. And angels spread
their wings for the seeker of knowledge, pleased with
what he is doing. And all who are in the heavens and all
who are in the earth-even the great fish in the water-ask
forgiveness for the learned. And the excellence of the
learned over any other worshipper is like the excellence
of the moon over all planets. Indeed, the learned are the
heirs of the prophet; yet the prophets did not bequeath
dinars nor dirhams. But surely they have bequeathed
knowledge. So whoever acquires it acquires an ample
share”.
(Sunan Al-Tirmidhi, 5:512, #3540)

“The hardest conviction to get into the mind of the beginner is thatthe education upon which he is engaged is not a college course,
not a medical course, but a life course,for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation”
William Osler (1906)

4.3 PM & DC Recognition, University Affiliation & WHO Registration
4.4 Postgraduate Training in Basic / Clinical Sciences
The founding fathers of Shifa Foundation envisioned the establishment of a higher institute of learning as the initial stone of the Shifa International Hospital was laid. The Shifa College of Medicine opened its door in December, 1998. This was the beginning of the realization of that vision.
Since early this year Shifa College of Medicine has become a part of Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University, It is a new, private, not-for-profit university, chartered by the Government of Pakistan.
The University has been sponsored by two welfare organizations; Shifa Foundation, Tameer-e-Millat Foundation and a sister organization, the Shifa International Hospital which is a corporate entity.
The Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University (STMU) aims to address the "emerging needs" of the society through new approaches to its curricular offerings but also innovate and upgrade the traditional disciplines and bring those in synchrony with the changing times, new demands and advances in human knowledge and thinking. The University motto, a quotation from the Quran, "Would you not reflect?" serves as a constant reminder to its promoters, faculty and students think critically stage of learning and at every level of decision making.
Excellence and Leadership are the key words guiding all academic endeavors of the University.
The College has been approved by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council. It is presently affiliated with the Bahria University, Islamabad. It is registered with the World Health Organization and included in the list of FAIMER International Medical Education Directory.
The PM&DC has already approved the Shifa International Hospital for house job training of medical graduates in Medicine, Surgery, Obs/Gyne and Pediatrics. The College of
Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan has given approval for training in the specialties of Physiology, Histopathology, Medicine, General Surgery, Obs/Gyne, Pediatrics, Anesthesia, Hematology Cardiology, Urology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Plastic Surgery, Neurology, Critical Care and Radiology, leading to FCPS qualification.
It is also approved to offer training in the specialties of Obs/ Gyne, Pediatrics and Anesthesia leading to MCPS.
The faculty at Shifa is a dynamic and motivated team. The College strives to choose its faculty members for their excellence and leadership in their respective basic or clinical disciplines or field of biomedical research.
They combine a commitment to excellence in patient care and clinical teaching with a drive to develop new knowledge and insights in their areas of expertise. Their scholarly and investigative approach makes them stimulating teachers to whom a student responds by developing an attitude of clinical inquiry. This attitude is immensely important to inculcate life-long learning required of all physicians, whether they are to be clinical practitioners or researchers, or both.

5.3 Integrated Curriculum
5.3.1 Curriculum Structure
The foundation module, held for the past few years begins the five year curriculum, is a major curricular initiative offered at Shifa. The primary focus of this module is to introduce the concept of the role of the physician in society. It emphasizes the importance of professionalism and ethics as the basis of a physicians' practice and the importance of critical reflections to promote life- long learning. Some salient features of the foundation module include: learning strategies, small group dynamics, and introduction to problem based learning, medical informatics , pr inciples of epidemiology, communication skills, biostatistics and research methodology. In addition introduction to Evidence Based Medicine, Anthropology, Medical Ethics and Physician and Society provide the humanities color. This module continues longitudinally in the three spirals which represent the organization of the curriculum.
a. First Spiral
First Spiral deals with the normal structure, function and biochemical aspects of human body which will be delivered in an integrated manner in clinical context (Basis of Medical Practice).
b. Second Spiral
Second Spiral deals with abnormal structure and function, pharmacological aspects of therapeutics and legal medicine and community health aspects which will be delivered in an integrated, case based format along with clinical experience (Basis of Medical Practice).
c. Third Spiral
ird Spiral revolves around real life clinical practice delivered in clerkship format and will provide comprehensive clinical experience to students. The clerkships include Medicine & Allied, Surgery & Allied, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Ophthalmology, ENT, and Community Health Aspects /Family

5.3.2 Semester System
5.3.3 Curriculum Delivery
Starting with the class of 2017, the MBBS curriculum will be delivered in semester system, in accordance with the HEC requirement for all courses to be semester based. The educational value of semester system is that it is more students centered and has more homogenous distribution of course load for learners/ teachers. It also facilitates continuous in depth assessment of students based on multiple assessments strategies.
The semester system will be implemented with the start of class of 2017, and will be implemented in a systematic manner, with the annual system phasing out in the next 3 years. The fourth and final year clerkships will continue to follow an annual format as recommended by HEC and PMDC.
Early introduction to clinical medicine from the first year onwards provides the appropriate “relevance” to the new integrated curriculum. Thus history and physical examination skills are taught with appropriate module from first year onwards. Formal clinical rotations begin in the third year. By the end of the third year, students are expected to consolidate their skills in the art and science of history taking and physical diagnosis.
The 4th & final years of medical school are clerkship based. In these clerkships the students get in-depth exposure to the required clinical disciplines. The goal of the clerkships is to assist the student in developing their expected competencies in the range of problems addressed by the respective disciplines. The level of competency to be achieved is that which is needed in order for the student to practice safe medicine in the community or carry on in postgraduate training in any discipline of the students' choice.
Additional exposure in allied specialties continues during these years. Students are expected to initiate research projects of interest under faculty supervision.
Small group discussions, problem based learning, self-directed learning, ambulatory e x p o s u r e , m o r n i n g r e p o r t s , clinicopathological conferences (CPC), journal clubs and grand rounds, along with post-graduates are important teaching and
learning strategies. The curriculum continues to evolve in synchronization with international and national trends in medical education.
The faculty at Shifa College of Medicine endeavors to implement various available modes of learning and teaching to maximize the output of potential doctors. The desire is to develop a healer who is observant, able to think critically, project his / her ideas effectively in a systematic and coordinated way, and execute his / her plans efficiently.
To achieve these objectives and to prepare the students to face challenges of modern times, more emphasis is on self-directed learning with teachers as motivators and facilitators.
The main learning strength at SCM is Small Group Discussions (SGDs). The learning revolves around clinical cases. Students learn basic and clinical science and apply the concepts to the patient related problem. The teacher acts as a facilitator. Small group learning is also used in the form of Problem Based Learning (PBL). This allows maximum student interaction and promotes self-learning and confidence among students.
! Large Group Interactive Sessions (LGISs)
LGIS has replaced traditional lectures. Though used sparingly, LGIS is an important strategy to deliver concepts using students' pre-existing knowledge in an integrated way.
An interactive case-based scenario is used to introduce a module and discuss broad concepts related to that specific system.
A. Learning Strategies
! Small Group Learning (SGD)
15 Prospectus 2012-2013
Because of relatively smaller number of students in each class, interactive case-based discussions are an effective way of communicating with students.
! Self Directed Learning (SDL)
Self-Directed Learning (SDL) sessions, strategically placed in the schedule to facilitate the students' learning related to the theme in progress, are provided to direct their own learning. The purpose of this strategy is to emphasize the need for continuing self assessment and life long learning.
! Integrated Practical Sessions (IPS)
Practical and clinical skills sessions are incorporated to reinforce the concepts developed during the modules. Students learn skills related to desired CanMEDs competencies in IPS. Most of the skills learned are patient centered & help in diagnosis, communication and counseling the patient.
! Clinical Case Presentations
The theoretical and practical knowledge is supplemented by field visits and clinical case presentations to allow hands on experience to the students. Faculty, from clinical as well as basic sciences, is present to elaborate and discuss the correlation of basic sciences to clinical practice. Regular meetings in the form of morning report, clinicopathological conferences, morbidity & mortality review meetings, grand rounds and journal clubs provide this opportunity.
! Seminars:
Groups of students are encouraged to present a topic of general interest on a regular basis in front of a larger audience and defend their
presentations independently. Senior medical students present overnight cases in Morning Report.
! Community Based Learning
The goals of community based learning are multiple. These relate to public health, community based clinical service and research. The objective is to move the learning environment from the tertiary hospital care to real community setting.
This provides a broader perspective and emphasizes disease prevention, health promotion & underlying community needs.
! Night Calls in related Clerkships
Students are required to take night calls every 4th night in their respective clerkships. This ensures comprehensive exposure to clinical problems.
! Remedial Learning
Students identified to be facing difficulty or deficiencies in their academic pursuits are helped through remedial program. A remedial program consists of short modules and assignments on topics being taught currently. Appropriate modules are assigned to students with necessary guidance and students are evaluated after completion.
B. Learning Resources
A learning resource center has been developed in collaboration with the College Library where the students have access to a wide variety of learning resources:
! Books: standard textbooks and reference books in clinical and basic sciences.
! Scientific Journals and Compact Discs.
! Internet facility: to provide access to MEDLINE and other informative sources via the library and SCIL centre.
! Shifa Clinical Informatics Laboratory
! MEDed portal
! Photocopying / printing facilities
C. Assessment Strategies
We believe in "Assessment derives learning". The final result of professional examinations will be an aggregate of the marks obtained by the students in professional
16 Prospectus 2012-2013
examinations and continuous assessment of courses/clerkships taken during the respective year.
Each of the system-based modules is assessed throughout the five years. In each clinical rotation/clerkship, students are formally evaluated every four weeks. This evaluation is based on MCQ's, SAQs and IPEs format. Final year clerkships are also evaluated on the MCQ's, SAQ's, OSCE, Mini-CEX, Case Write-up format, and Clinical Examinations.
The strategies employed for assessment are given below.
Cognitive (Written Assessment)
! Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
! Short-Answer Questions (SAQs)
Performance (Skill Assessment)
! Integrated Practical Examination (IPE)
! Objective Structure Clinical Examination (OSCE)
! Case Write-ups
! Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX)
! Structured Short case
! Preceptor evaluations
At Shifa College of Medicine program evaluation is done using the standards set by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME). Therefore we undertake to promote the highest scientific and ethical standards in medical education, initiating new learning methods, new instructional tools, and innovative management of medical education.
The WFME provides a mechanism for quality improvement in medical education, using a gold standard in a global context, to be applied by institutions responsible for medical education, and in programmes throughout the continuum of medical education. Quality is assured through using the above mentioned standards in the following domains:
a. Student Selection & Admissions
b. Curriculum planning
c. Curriculum delivery
5.4 Curriculum Evaluation
d. Student assessment
e. Alumni Feedback
Professional development of faculty is crucial for ensuring the quality of Health Professions Education (HPE). Educational development activity has been regular feature at Shifa College of Medicine for last 13 years. DHPE of Shifa College of Medicine regularly organizes workshops on fundamental themes of HPE, customized to suit the emerging needs of Medial Education in Pakistan.

6.1 Student Affairs Office
6.2 Undergraduate Admissions
The first contact that a prospective student makes with the college for admission is through the Student Affairs Office. That is the beginning of a lasting and caring relationship, which extends even after the graduation of the student from the college. This office functions as a friend, guide and counselor to students. The office provides and coordinates a variety of services including admission, counseling, welfare, extra-curricular activit ies, accommodation, and student records including students' electives, graduation protocols, alumni affairs and other aspects of the student life on campus not covered within the formal courses of instruction.
The office also serves as a liaison between the College and parents. Student progress reports are regularly mailed to parents at the conclusion of 2 or 3 modules and annual examination. Similarly, the situation of attendance, where falling short, is brought to their attention. Behavior and discipline are issues, which the College alone cannot ensure. Where violations are observed, parents are usually brought into the picture.
The college has the capacity to admit up to 100 students annually from Pakistan and abroad. (90% of seats are allocated for local applicants and 10% are allocated for international applicants as defined later). The admission on all seats is based on merit, as defined in the following pages; this is applied without discrimination of gender, color, creed, race, religion, or domicile.

The Shifa College of Medicine has no connections with that office and is, therefore, unable to provide any information or assistance in that connection. It is the applicants' responsibility to obtain the Equivalence Certificate before an offer of admission could be formalized. International applicants are advised to visit the website of IBCC at www.ibcc.edu.pk and establish contact with it on the following address to seek information and guidance:
Inter Board Committee of Chairmen, FBISE Building, H/8- 4 Islamabad. Phone: 051-9235017-23 Pakistan, web: www.ibcc.edu.pk
4. Entrance Test
All applicants, whether they have submitted completed application or provisional, will be required to write the Shifa College of Medicine's Entrance Test. The Entrance Test is an essential requirement of the Admission Process. The results of the Entrance Test make a very significant contribution towards the computation of the final merit of applicants. Higher the score in the Entrance test better are the prospects for selection. Objectives of Entrance Test have evolved over the years with experience. Initially it mainly re-tested HSC contents in order to provide one yardstick for candidates who were drawn from many Boards of Intermediate Education in Pakistan and several foreign educational systems. The Entrance Test provided a reliable common denominator. Over the years, there has been a steady evolution in HSC examination systems under the IBCC. With the efforts of IBCC, there has been a greater degree of uniformity in the examination conducted by various Boards of Education. Subjecting candidates to yet another exclusively HSC test again in the Entrance Test is, therefore, thought repetitive and now redundant.
Alongside that, the need has been felt to bring the Entrance Test in line with the intended or desired profile of a medical graduate as per the Mission Statement of the College. To begin with one has to sensitize the future student to what they will have to undertake or expected to demonstrate.
The eventual intention is that the future doctor must develop a “complete” personality of students enriched by sufficient grounding in human empathy, ethics and understanding of
heritage that guide and broaden our vision and world view. These aspects are fading fast from our minds, memories and culture. It is, therefore, prudent to sensitize applicants towards these objectives through the Entrance Test so they are aware and mentally prepared for such undertakings.
Starting 2012-13, admissions to Shifa College of Medicine the Entrance Test would be modified gradually. The new additions to the content of the Entrance Test would include:
! Current Affairs
! Relevant aspects of humanities
! Ethics
! Behavioral & Social Sciences
! Critical thinking and logical reasoning
! Elements of liberal arts (Iqbaliat and other literature)
For the current year only Ethics, Critical thinking and logical reasoning and literature segment will appear that would include selections from Iqbaliat, extracts from Musaddas e Hali, other luminaries and a few reflections from Islamic History.
Thus for the current year about two third of the Entrance Test would be based on selected topics of HSC syllabus like the previous years. Nearly one third will be contributed by the new additions. Examples of MCQs are given in the specimen test paper in the College Prospectus.
Full content of Iqbaliat is attached with the college Prospectus 2012-2013. Urdu topics are accompanied by English translation.
The college plans to put in place a structured program spread over 5 years that would include the topics listed above as well as several other additions. Shifa Entrance Test will be administered at:
5.Alternative Option
As an alternate option the College will accept following: (For International candidates only*)
! SAT II in Biology, Chemistry and Physics / Mathematics (Minimum score requirement is 650 each in any two subjects and 550 in third Subject)
Paradise Complex, Plot No. 6, Islamabad
Expressway to Airport between Faizabad and
Khanna Bridge on Sunday, September 09, 2012.
21 Prospectus 2012-2013
(SAT-II SCORES SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 2 CALENDAR YEARS OLD)
* International candidates (Foreign Nationals, Pakistanis with Dual Nationality and those Pakistani Students who have obtained the required qualifications for admission from outside Pakistan can submit SAT II scores)
The requirement for admission will not be complete without the Entrance Test or its alternative. Consequently, the applications of all those candidates who fail to write the Shifa Entrance Test will not be considered beyond this stage
The medium of instruction in the college is English, and applicants must realize that adequate proficiency is essential in both verbal as well as written English. Simply appearing in the test of English comprehension is not enough.
6. Interviews
Interviews with the faculty of the college form a part of the evaluation for selection. Interviews are conducted by appointment.
Each applicant will meet with two interviewers for 15-20 minutes. The purpose of the interviews is to meet a living soul, as opposed to an application on paper, and appreciate those personality attributes, which one would like to see in a caring doctor, such as empathy and understanding.
Applicants are cautioned that interviews although held towards the tail end of the admission process, are only a component of the whole process and contribute a small weightage to the cumulative merit.
7. Final Selection
Relative weightage of all the components of the Admission Process; academic: 10% achievement in matric or its equivalent, 40% in intermediate or its equivalent, 40%in Shifa
Entrance Test or its alternate option, and 10% in the interview, are added up to arrive at the final merit list.
The top applicants on the merit list in both categories will be invited, in writing, to join the first year MBBS class. No formal waiting list will be announced, but all the remaining applicants stay on the waiting list. Any dropouts from the class will be replaced from the waiting list of their respective category, on merit, until the beginning of the Classes.
Applicants will be informed of the selection individually by letters / SMS alerts and through Email as soon as the final list is ready.
8. Confirmation of Admission
Selected students will be required to confirm their intent to join the college by depositing the admission fee, tuition fee and other fee as prescribed within a week of announcement of selection.
If a seat in the first year class is not confirmed by this date, it will be offered to the next person on the waiting list of their respective category. No further claim of admissions by the incumbent applicant will be admissible in such an eventuality.
Result of the final selection will be
displayed on the college website as soon
as it is ready. Simultaneously, it will be
communicated to applicants by email
and SMS. Applicants, their parents and
well wishers are advised not to approach
or telephone the Admission Office, or any
officer of the College or Hospital for
information before that. They should
wait for a written communication from
the Admission Office.
9. College Fees
Applicants are advised to study carefully the rates of various fees, to be paid to the college, before making application for admission. They have to ensure that sufficient financial arrangements exist for a course of study that lasts for at least 5 years. Current rate of tuition fees per annum is given below:

Consequently, in its formative years, it will not be possible to offer significant financial help to needy students but as the sponsorships for students' assistance build up, limited financial help may become available in future. However, the College will continue to encourage and promote academic excellence amongst its students through merit scholarships and awards.

6.4 Student Health Service
6.5 College Disciplinary Committee
to the Dean for appropriate and necessary action.
Students who are admitted into the Shifa College of Medicine are deemed to have already pledged their obligation (on the application form) to abide by the rules and regulations of the college.
Shifa students, the future doctors, are expected to manifest a responsible, caring, and understanding attitude towards others at all times. Honesty should be paramount in all their dealings. Dishonest behavior in all settings as well as in examinations will result in irrevocable dismissal from the College.

Other reasons for dismissal might include: submission of false evidence, stealing, willful destruction of equipment, furnishing or property; physical violence against other students, faculty or staff; possession and use of drugs and fire-arms; violation of civil rights of others; organization of civil disturbance, non-payment of College dues without valid reason and any acts or gestures that brings a bad name and bad reputation to College and its members.

How to Mark (or fill) the Answer Sheet
The facing page shows a typical answer sheet, which is meant to be scanned (or scored) by acomputer. The answer sheet is marked with a pencil or ball point pen depending on what facilitythe computer has. The answer sheet is allowed to pass through a "scanner" or "optical markreader" (OMR) just like a sheet of paper passes through a laser printer. In the passage thecomputer's "eye" or "optical mark reader" detects the pencil or ball point marks and comparesthe impression with that of a blank answer sheet already fed into its memory. Also present incomputer's memory is the imprint of an answer sheet marked, in pen or pencil, with the correctanswers. By a comparison of the two the computer is in a position to tell that, compared with the"correct" answer sheet, how many "right" and "wrong" answers have been marked in the studentsheet. Because the spaces for marking answers is very precisely laid out on the answer sheet, it isessential that marks are carefully made in the designated spaces, which should not spill over.Following illustration will help you understand the procedure.
1. Writing Your Name
Names could have one or more parts. Accordingly the space reserved for the name showstwo parts; first , and last. For example take the name
Khawaia Badar -uz- Zaman Afghani
First Middle Last
Looking at the number of squares made available for the Name it is obvious that the abovename cannot be accommodated in full. But the last name and preferably the first namemust be written in full as under:
First Name Last Name
K H A W A J A A F G H A N I
Again, if a name has only one bit like, Mehwish then it should be written against the first name.
First Name Last Name
M E H W I S H
However, the current lot of computers are not programmed to read the names written in this way.The particular OMR, that is used for scanning answer sheets, can only detect solid blobs.Therefore, the name written in alphabets above has to be converted into black blobs. To do that,in the above example, locate the letter "K" of "Khawaja" vertically below the letter "K" and fillcompletely that square. Do the same thing for h, a, w, j and a. See how the squares have beenfilled underneath the name in the illustration Answer Sheet. Unless this is done, the computer wouldnot register the identity of that particular sheet. You will have to fill in your name in the same way.
2. Identification Number (ID No.)
Two or more persons can have the same name. But two persons cannot have the sameidentification number. The purpose of the identification number is to ensure identity througha unique number for every individual. Therefore, it is essential that the identification number

M 0 2 1
is copied with great care. Identification number could be named differently lik, roll number,application number, identity number or registration number and so on. Please note that it hasnothing to do with your national identity card number. In your case, usually it is the applicationnumber. For example, if your identification number, or roll number or registration number (you willbe, normally, advised what is your identification number) is 156, then it should be filled in thefollowing manner; starting from the left
Or if it is, M021, then it will be filled accordingly;
The squares under the identification number will have to be filled in exactly the same manner asdone for the name.
3. Marking Answers
For marking answers to questions two characteristics have to be noted; one, the serialnumber of the question (or item) and second, the alphabet of the selected choice. That is, ifit is a multiple choice question then one of the alphabets (A, B, C, D, E) has to be chosen. If itis a choice between True and False, then one of the two must be selected for marking.Supposing you wish to mark choice "C" against MCQ No.1 then locate No.1 and against thatalphabet C, and the circle "C" should be marked by filling it completely.
If the mark spills out of the circle, the computer may read it as a WRONG answer or ignore itcompletely. On the other hand, the marking should not be incomplete within the circle.
Please see how the answers to the specimen paper have been marked in the answer sheet.
