The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) is a statutory regulatory authority that maintains the official register of medical and dental practitioners in Pakistan. It is responsible for setting and maintaining standards of medical and dental education, accreditation of medical and dental colleges, and registration of doctors and dentists.
History
The PMDC was established in 1962 under the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council Ordinance. Its primary purpose is to regulate the health education and practice standards in the country to ensure that medical and dental services are provided to the populace with the highest level of professionalism.
Functions
The main functions of the PMDC include:
- Accreditation of medical and dental colleges
- Certification of medical and dental degrees
- Registration of medical and dental practitioners
- Ensuring ethical practices and discipline in the professions
Registration
Registration with the PMDC is mandatory for all medical and dental practitioners in Pakistan. It serves as a license to practice within the country. The Council issues permanent as well as provisional registrations, the latter for those who are in the process of completing their house job or internship.
Education Standards
The PMDC sets standards for medical and dental curricula taught in educational institutions across Pakistan. It conducts inspections and examinations to ensure compliance with these standards. The Council also plays a crucial role in the development of postgraduate medical and dental education.
Challenges and Reforms
