The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan recognized the urgent need to launch a program to assist health professions educators in learning emerging medical education terminology and implementing effective teaching and assessment methodologies for undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. As a result, a diploma program in health professions education was launched in 2004.
The program’s success made it possible for it to be upgraded to College membership (MCPS- HPE) in 2009. Evidence of motivation for medical education is used to determine admission to the MCPS-HPE program. The program’s skilled instructors guarantee a seamless transition from medical or dental practitioners, consultants, or teachers to qualified and experienced medical educators.
