The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has advised 1,000 students from the Yusra Medical and Dental College Islamabad (YMDCI) and Continental Medical College in Lahore to submit their college preferences, as it has been decided that both institutions will be shut down and their students moved to other colleges.
Yusra Medical and Dental College Islamabad (YMDCI) Principal retired Brig Mohammad Sultan told Dawn this decision has put the future of the college’s 500 students at stake. Students should at least have been directed to leave the college when the new academic session begins in January 2019, he said.
But The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) Registrar Dr Waseem Hashmi said the future of the students of both colleges had already been disturbed, and the council’s decision to adjust them in other institutions will secure and streamline their future.
In a letter available with Dawn, students were told that the The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) executive committee has recommended the closure of Yusra Medical and Dental College Islamabad (YMDCI) and directed for its students to be adjusted in other recognised medical colleges.
