Hello everyone! I wanted to ask if you have an option to choose between Chugtai and SKMCH for radiology residency, which one to go with? My biggest concern regarding SKMCH is that it is heavily focused on oncology imaging which is not so much a thing with Chugtai. Rest of the things are quite similar between the two. What are your thoughts!
Thanks
Hello everyone!
I started my housejob in a government hospital almost 2 months ago, after graduating from a government medical college.
I was never passionate about medicine however I had stellar grades and made it into the top government medical college with the one of the top merit positions. I performed well in medical school too. cleared my step 1. had plans too clear step2 before graduation too but that didn't work out.
Now I had plans to study for step 2 during housejob however I have been struggling so much to do it. And with every passing day I am genuinely questioning if I can even do residency and be a doctor. I am confused if it is the conditions and work environment in gov hospitals in pakistan that is making me think this way or am i just not made for medicine lifestyle in general.
I feel miserable on call days im questioning if I have wasted the last almost 6 years of my life working so hard for a career that will never give me any contentment. or would practising medicine in a better setup be the fix of for this miserable feeling.
I feel so lost and confused about the future. I know have alot of potential but i have no sense of direction. I dont want to spend my youth in a career that consumes me to the point where I don't get to live my own life.
Any advice at all from anyone or anyone who felt similarly. :,)
Need some guidance regarding this as I've gotten a seat on merit list in neurosurgery but now I'm reconsidering since it's pretty tough and long term scope seems less as compared to other specialties.
Hi guys! I am confused about housejob between these hospitals. Which one is better in sense of overall place, exposure, and management etc . I have heard that military hospitals MH and CMH have a secure environment buy exposure is very less . In pims especially, there is more interaction with patients and alot to learn. Idk about holy family. Which do u guys think is better also I would love suggestions on hostel accommodations near to these hospitals if anyone went through it .

I have still not received the admit pass for the attempt on 7th july. The cpsp website shows admit pass not issued yet. Is that normal?
I am planning to start residency training in medicine or allied but I don't have much information about the details regarding the process, rules etc. I am an old graduate so particularly unaware of the recent rules and how it works in punjab specifically. Please guide me regarding any specific rules of fcps 1and training induction tests, and whatever i should be knowing in this regard.
Available slots/opportunities in medicine vs allied
Is there a possibility of having to do it unpaid?
I don't have a domicile of Punjab so will that be a problem for getting a training slot in government hospitals?
Would be really grateful for all the insight.
Has anyone else applied for PAF this time around. I filled out their google form on their Linkedin post and paid the 3K fee. The post said the exam will be conducted on 5th July. I still haven’t heard anything from their side. Posting here to ask if anyone else has applied and they’re in the same boat.
Just got my admit pass today and it says Center 2 MPH 1st floor CPSP Islamabad. No Sector or anything and can't find it on maps, can someone explain where it is or send a google maps link please thank you.
I did 2 years training in medicine but had to quit it for some reason.
I have also got GMC registration via PLAB pathway but no luck yet. (It's been more than a year).
Should i consider getting into training again or consider any other country? Or is there another good option in Pakistan or internationally of maybe another postgraduate program enrollment or anything?
Just clueless what to do next and loosing more time because of it.
What field would be a good option if i get into training again? Medicine or allied? How about family medicine?
I don't have much financial resources to invest. Will have to arrange it someway if needed, so need to be very vigilant and aware about whatever i do next.

A while back it was all the hype and the pays were really good even if it was for a scribe or coder or transcriptionist.
Remote work did take off but where does one begin the search and what about the experience?
I have been looking on linked in,indeed, glassdoor , upwork for more than 6 months.
Even if you do find one what is a medical assistant certificate for the US.
No one ever replies and never even gotten a single interview.
I was just wondering if the market has gotten saturated or you just need some tools that maybe I don't have ?
Also. Where does one even begin to learn that when most of our hospitals run on paper.
What use is an MBBS degree when hospitals earning millions here offer 60-80k for back-breaking work.
Honestly kindda getting depressed about this now......

Im planing to start fcps in surgery meanwhile I wanna pursue mle pathway abroad. Im not really passionate about either med or surgery, can do any.
Hi guys I am about to apply for fcps part 1 and had a query, is the PMDC number the registration number on your pmdc license? Thanks in advance!
So I applied for the July 7 anesthesia exam, but uploaded an unattested photo, so got an objection. I uploaded the attested photo on 14th June but it still says scrutiny awaited and i haven't gotten the admit pass
I called and the useless mf just said email kardain jaisay woh tou kuch nahi kar sakta even though I already emailed and got no reply. Will I be able to sit in the exam without an admit pass? And when do you even receive one because i haven't yet, the exam is close and i still don't know yet what date mine would be on, what should I do
