institute of Basic Medical Sciences

It is both an honour and a privilege to connect with you at this remarkable moment in our journey, a time brimming with new possibilities and immense pride in our collective achievements. As we reflect on the strides we have made, we express our hear t on the strides we have made, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Allah (SWT) for blessing us with the strength and opportunities to accomplish so much in such a short span of time. Looking back over the last four years since my previous message, it feels as though time has passed at an accelerated pace. Our progress has been nothing short of extraordinary. We have grown from a modest student body of 3,000 to a vibrant community of over 10,000 students. The number of constituent institutes has more than doubled, now spanning across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa—from Peshawar to Kurram, Mansehra, Swabi, Mardan, Swat, Dir, and Islamabad, with plans for expansion in Karak and Dera Ismail Khan. Additionally, we are honored to have onboarded 220 affiliated institutions, impacting around 70,000 students in medical, dental, nursing, and allied health sciences. Our postgraduate offerings have flourished, now encompassing 26 programs, alongside new Bachelor, Master, MPhil, and PhD programs, all of which have been recognized by PMDC and HEC. KMU’s rise as the leading research institution in the region is evidenced by our advanced research projects and a 93% rating from the Quality Enhancement Cell. Alhamdulillah, Khyber Medical University has truly become a high seat of learning. We have also significantly expanded our academic offerings. Our public sector MBBS and BDS seats have increased to 1,740, up from 1,300, while new fellowship programs, including FCPS, have been launched. We are proud to have introduced revolutionary academic reforms, such as upgrading the BS in Physiotherapy to the Doctor of Physiotherapy program, launching PhD and MPhil programs in Allied Health Sciences, and starting clinical services in rehabilitation, audiology, and occupational therapy. In the field of pharmaceutical sciences, we’ve established the Institute of Pharmacy and introduced the Doctor of Pharmacy program, now the leading pharmacy program in the province. The introduction of clinical pharmacology in KMU Hospital further strengthens our academic and clinical infrastructure. ...view more
