Education and Training

We produce competent and skilled anesthesiologists by training them in our highly structured postgraduate residency program, which is accredited by the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan. Trainees qualify for FCPS and MCPS at the end of this program.
CME Programs and Workshops are also arranged periodically. Our faculty and residents present their papers both in national and international conferences of Anaesthesia.
