Rawalpindi Medical College is organising an International Scientific Conference along with as many as 26 pre-conference workshops in various disciplines including medicine, surgery and allied specialties to celebrate its 40th anniversary from December 17 to December 21.
The conference and the pre-conference workshops would be attended by more than 40 highly qualified specialist doctors from abroad as well specialist doctors from twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the RMC International Scientific Conference Professor of Psychiatry Dr. Fareed Aslam Minhas informed ‘The News’ on Saturday that the international scientific conference would be held from December 20 to 21 while the pre- conference workshops would be held from December 17 to 19.
Through pre-conference workshops, latest techniques would be taught to local doctors. On December 20, a dinner will be organised by RMC to facilitate guidance to students by the eminent doctors coming from abroad. The event will culminate with Reunion Dinner on December 21 in the evening followed by a social evening.
Dr. Minhas said that the theme of the international conference is ‘Exploring the Scientific Future’ that connects the Rawalians of past and present in a scientific endeavour for the future. The conference aims at uniting and converging the diverse groups from 40 batches, from multiple disciplines and at various stages of professional excellence to contribute to the scientific future of RMC, he said.
The faculty of the RMC are organising the conference in collaboration with RMC Alumni Association of North America (RMCAANA), Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America (APPNA), RMC Alumni UK, RMC Alumni New Zealand, RMC Alumni Australia, RMC Alumni Canada and RMC Alumni UAE.
Dr. Minhas said that the conference shall include 26 pre-conference workshops in the fields of medicine, surgery and allied specialties in collaboration with international alumni. The present state of human knowledge available across the globe is based on consultation and creativity based on scientific research and exchange of thoughts and ideas. Various workshops being conducted at the conference will provide a unique opportunity to local consultants, postgraduate trainees and students to learn and have experience of the latest techniques in the medical field, he said.
He said that the workshops are being directed by international and national consultants who are experts in their respective fields and boast extensive experience. It is a landmark event in the history of RMC that such a vast number of workshops in about all disciplines have been arranged. There will be live demonstrations and hands on training. Participants will learn recent advances, latest techniques and new trends and will have close interaction with the international consultants.
Dr. Minhas added that from December 20 to 21, a core scientific meeting would be held consisting of state of the art lectures, scientific sessions, special sessions, inaugural and concluding sessions. The scientific sessions would be chaired by esteemed professors who were the pioneers in medical education and all specialties from across the nation. Each session will consist of various guest lectures delivered by international as well as local speakers with the aim to inform, promote and globalize outstanding technological innovation, knowledge and research of medicine.
He said that the special sessions in the program would serve to open the gateway and build a bridge between the students of RMC (Young Rawalians) and International Rawalians in USA, UK, Australia, Middle East, Africa and other parts of the world.
