A lot of doctors and students are curious about knowing how they can join Pakistan Army as a doctor and usually it’s hard for them to get the accurate and detailed info. Well to understand the exact procedure, lets clarify few terminologies and procedures related to doctors in Pakistan themselves. It may seem like a lengthy article, however all info shared here is important to be understood before you opt to join Pakistan Army as a doctor.
When can you apply in Army as a doctor?
Inductions are opened twice a year, almost in January and then in July. However please keep checking the recruitment centre and also official website: http://joinpakarmy.gov.pk/ as the months can change.
You can apply at:
- During 4th year mbbs
- Right after completing mbbs
- After doing housejob (or during housejob too)
- After passing part 1 exam
- After passing part 2 exam of specialization (as a major)
If you’re applying after mbbs, it’s ideal to either join before housejob, right after mbbs or else apply once you have cleared the part 1 exam in the speciality of your choice.
When can you leave Army?
There is a common misconception among people that they can leave army upon completion of their bond years. NO, they can NOT.
You have to serve for complete 24 years, even if you join army on any years bond.
For example if you joined via SSRC for 5 or 7 years bond, you can NOT leave after 5 or 7 years of service. You will have to complete the total 24 years service to be released from army.
People do get released from army by paying the fine or various other means, but that’s not normal procedure.
As per normal procedure, all doctors are treated equal and in same boat, no matter how and for how many years bond they joined army.
So please keep in mind, once you decide to join army, there is no turning back.
Do Doctors remain in hospitals only?
No, they don’t.
Doctors go to hospital only for housejob and for specialization training (mainly). Or once they clear part 2 then they get posted in CMH.
Duties of a Doctor in Pakistan Army
When in hospital, the major part of duty is to do the doctors usual stuff mainly.
When not in hospital, which makes a huge part of service, has duties like:
- Giving medical cover at sports: Sitting at polo match, swimming pool, boxing match, PT tests, etc. while teams are playing to be available for any emergency.
- Sanitary rounds: Checking soldier lines, washrooms, messes, overall unit hygiene etc, to see if soldiers are living in good hygienic conditions.
- Medical cover in operations: Getting attached to operational area and be available in the location to provide any medical cover needed
- Other covers: like being at helipad when helicopter takes off or lands, going with conveys in ambulance to be available for emergency, etc.
Do you get the training immediately if you join after clearing part 1?
No, you get the training at your turn. But the situation may vary from case to case.
Specialisation for Doctors in Pakistan as Civilians vs. Army
Specialization is one of the main concerns for doctors. It’s a lot different for civilian doctors and Army doctors. Civilian doctors get an early and more focused post graduate training in the specialty of their choice, while army doctors have to wait for years and also can’t always get specialty of their choice.
Part 1 exam and specialization training for civil doctors
Specialization for civil doctors is a simple process. They complete their mbbs, do their housejob and then appear in the part 1 exam of their choice of specialty. If they clear the exam, they can simply start their postgraduate training in that specialty right from that day.
However the process isn’t so simple in Pakistan Army. You’ll have to first perform the housejob like civilian doctors, but once the housejob is done, you’re not free to appear in the part 1 exam immediatly.
Part 1 exam and specialization training for Pakistan Army doctors
You have to wait for at least 2 years before appearing in part 1 exam after completing your mbbs. During these 2 years, army doctors complete their housejob and appear in “part 1 permission exam”. Then the training begins once the part 1 exam has been cleared. It takes at least 2.5 years if you clear all exams in the first go, in the specialty where seats for trainees are available. However if you opt for rare specialty like dermatology or pathology, you may have to wait couple of years before you get permission for training.
What is part 1 permission exam in Pakistan Army?
Part 1 permission exam has been introduced by Army Medical Corps in 2015. Army doctors passing this exam are allowed to appear in part 1 exam next year, if their service is over 2 years by the end of December of current year.
Note that you can give part-1 in only first 7 years of your service (if some spec has acute shortage of trainees then that window can increase temporarily). After that you can not be a specialist.
Update: part-1 permission exam have been cancelled in Pakistan Army now. Now doctors only need to submit an application each year to get permission for next year.
Can you choose the specialty of your choice?
No, you can’t always choose the specialty of your choice. However, if you choose the specialty in which there’s already deficiency, you can get that easily, e.g. anaesthesia and surgery.
Doctors apply for part one permission by giving three specialities as choices and are given the permission in the one that requires most trainees.
Training in super specialty
Army does provide training in super specialties. However they have their own policies for that too. E.g., if you choose neuro surgery as a field for yourself, you’ll first have to complete four years training in general surgery, pass the FCPS exam, serve as a surgeon, apply for neuro surgery training, get selected and then start neuro surgery training. While in civil, you simply complete the whole training in 5 years (2 years general surgery and 3 years neuro surgery).
So for super speciality training in Pakistan army medical corps, procedure goes like this:
- Wait for part 1 permission
- Give part 1 and pass it
- Wait for training permission
- Get posted to CMH and do training of first speciality (surgery or medicine)
- Get posted out of hospital upon completion of training
- Pass part 2 of first speciality
- Get posted to CMH, serve as medical specialist or surgeon
- Give army test for specialization (called classified specialist after passing it)
- Apply for permission for private practice, and do private practice when allowed, in CMH only
- Serve as the surgeon or medical specialist etc. in army
- Apply for permission in super speciality (cardiology, neuro surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, etc.)
- If given permission, wait for your turn for super speciality
- Get training in your super speciality
- You are no more allowed to do private practice or work as the first speciality as you’re now a trainee of another speciality
- Complete the training, give part 2 of second speciality
Yes this take a lot more than mere 5 years like it does in civil.
FCPS vs. MCPS in Pakistan Army
FCPS, FRCS, and similar degrees are considered as proper specialties in Pakistan Army and you can join directly as a Major if you apply after passing exams in them. However MCPS and related degrees are taken as a Captain.
What is GDMO?
GDMO stands for General Duty Medical Officer. Anyone who is not serving as a specialist is a GDMO in Pakistan Army. Even specialists can work on GDMO roles in certain situations.
What does a GDMO do?
GDMO has both doctor related and administration related roles. Hospital related ones include housejob, MI room, medical covers, etc. Administration roles include being part of medical battalion and follow unit routines and also CMH administrations.
GDMO can also take flight surgery and deep sea diving doctor short courses of few months. This helps them go abroad on deputation too with a handsome package.
Can GDMO do private practice?
No a GDMO isn’t allowed to do private practice in Pakistan Army.
Can a specialist doctor do private practice?
A specialist in Army can do private practice only after permission. Once permitted, he can only do the private practice in the same CMH where he is posted and a share of income generated goes to CMH fund (almost 40%).
What’s the highest rank a doctor can achieve?
The highest rank a doctor can achieve never ends; he can become a specialist, a super specialist, or can be the saviour of humanity without specializing too.
Regarding Army ranks, highest rank they’ve achieved till now is lieutenant General and are called Surgeon General.
What’s the starting rank of doctors in Pakistan Army
Specialists (FCPS, FRCS, etc.) are inducted directly as Major.
Doctors who’ve completed MBBS and no specialisation or MCPS, etc. are inducted as a rank of Captain.
What is the pay of Army doctors?
In Pakistan Army, the pay of doctors is based on their ranks and is similar to non-doctor officers of similar rank + non-practicing allowance (NPA) which is almost 4,000 PKR.
The pay of Captain starts around 50,000 PKR while that of a Major around 60,000.
Are inducted doctors treated same as AMCOLIANS?
Amcolians (from amcol: army medical college) are the graduate of army medical college who study mbbs while being cadets in uniform too.
Yes, there is no difference what so ever among the amcolians and the civil inductees as commissioned officers. All the career and duties are same and no way to differentiate apparently regarding duties, privileges, authorities and responsibilities.
Operational Covers
Doctors are deployed in operational area along with non-doctor troops on the front line. There is no maximum time duration specified for which a doctor can be deployed in ops area and can extend to years and vary depending upon his career progress and Army requirements.
UN missions
Doctors easily get deployment for UN missions where they serve as UN Army members in areas where UN forces are deployed e.g. Somalia, Ivory coast, Sudan, etc. Package is good but not as good as of Saudia (which comes if you do the flight surgery course).
Doctors get UN mission after 3-5 years of their service.
Note that you can not go to UN mission if you have passed part-1 exam.
Also note that if you are sent on UN mission, your chances of getting permission for part-1 exam after that get low.
When can an army doctor get married?
Sometimes there is confusion that Army allowed married doctors to join or not. And When can an army doctor marry? Does he need to wait few years before getting married? Well all these are mere speculations and there is no such rule.
Army allows both single and married doctors to apply after mbbs. (You need to be single only if you’re applying in army after FSc or equivalent).
Also, there is no restriction or years required before an army officer can marry. You can marry as soon as you become an officer too.
Selection procedure to join Pakistan Army as a doctor
Once you’ve submitted the form for joining Pak Army as a GDMO, you’ll get a call for online test. This includes IQ test, Intelligence test (verbal and non verbal), academic test (mbbs related), personality test. These tests (other than mbbs part) are simple as they’re designed for average FA pass youngsters applying for long course through issb and can easily be covered from the same preparation books that are used for long course issb (e.g. issb by dogar sons).
Once you pass the test, you’re called next day for detailed psychology test in which you are assessed thoroughly.
There are only these 2 days of ISSB for doctors when they join Pakistan Army. There is no physical test. However a routine medical is performed in which their height, weight, eye sight, etc. are checked.
Those who’re selected through this process get a call letter for a final interview and if selected by the panel, they receive the call letter for Basic Military Training (BMT) in AMC S & C (Army Medical Corps School & Center), on Kakul road, near PMA, Abbottabad. Training for SSC (short service commission) is of 22 weeks usually.
Why is specialization so difficult in Pakistan Army?
Many people ask why specialization is difficult in Pakistan Army. And super speciality specialization is even more difficult and has rules which are not applicable all over Pakistan in civil setup.
Well the answer is that Army provides seats for what it needs. They’re not a medical college or medical setup. They train people for what they need. If they need more surgeons, they will make surgery specialisation easy, if they want more neurosurgeons, they will make that speciality easy.
Pakistan Army needs a lot of GDMO’s for field duties and for routine work, which is mostly outside hospitals. So if you don’t crave much for specialisation and are happy being a GDMO for more years than your civil counter parts, then you won’t find the rules difficult.
Perks, Privileges, Responsibilities and Authorities of Army doctors
Perks, privileges, responsibilities and authorities of Army doctors are the same as non-doctor officers of the same rank.
Questions regarding joining Pakistan Army as a Doctor?
We’ve tried to clarify a lot of concepts about joining Pakistan Army as a doctor and elaborate all the frequently asked questions regarding joining Pak Army as a GDMO. If you’ve any query related to joining Pakistan Army as a doctor, please let us know so that we can explain and include it in this article too.
If someone has cleared part 1 then are they immediately allowed to do their residency/training?
No, they’re not allowed to start their fcps training immediately, they get it on their turn.
“Also note that if you are sent on UN mission, your chances of getting permission for part-1 exam after that get low.”
Why is it so?
Because UN mission is considered a privilege for the doctor by army, as he earns in dollars on it (3200$ for captain, 3500$ for major).
Thanks.
can women go on UN missions?
Yes they can go. However their ratio is much less.
If I do my MBBS from out of country, can I apply for the post(join pak army as a doctor)
Yes you can apply if you have pmdc registration.
If have 3 questions :
1) What if you are a girl and a specialist. You are enrolled as major in short courses and a bond of 5 years is signed. Due to family issues ,if you want to leave after 5 years,can you do that?
2) Plus till then if are 41 years, can you then join govt job?
3) If you leave final medical fitness test in middle ,are u rejected and can never apply in future ?
You should only join army if you’re willing to adopt army lifestyle, for “life” (as it’s a life-style). Clear your mind and join once you’re sure, as you will be most likely not able to quit army before completion of 24 years of service (or retirement age / years of your department).
1. Generally, you can not quit army before completion of 24 years of service, no matter what bond you sign. The bond gets extended through many things and ultimately your bond never ends. Even if it ends some how, you can not quit normally, because practically speaking, there are many reasons for which your resign can be rejected, including your current posting, etc. So chance is very low.
2. You have to check for govt job requirements if they accept that age.
3. You can apply again, no issues.
If we join after housejob then when can we appear in part 1 permission exam?after one year?
No, Housejob is counted as half of it’s duration for seniority
Means if you complete 1 year housejob, you get 6 months relief and can appear in exam after 1.5 years

how many seat are available for civilians doctors who are applying after mbbs?
it’s variable
Can females can apply for their housejob after completing final year mbbs and if yes then when to apply whats the rank?
Yes Females can apply after mbbs.
The starting rank for doctors is Captain.
You can apply twice in year when the openings for GDMO (General Duty Medical Officer) come in Pakistan Army.
I have already passed fcps part 1 in Surgery. In case if I get inducted then after how much time I’ll be allowed to do training?
As per current policy, Your part-1 exam will not be entertained and you will have to apply for permission to appear in part-1 exam in third year of your commissioned service.
Sir want to know is it better to do house job in army r as civilian??secondly what is preferences or benefits for those who have graduated now with comapre to those who have got seats as M cadet in 4th yr or final year MBBS??
plz can u tell me overall how much time will be taken to become an army doctor??
It takes 5 years for every medical student to become a doctor by completing mbbs in army or outside army.
I just want to ask that I am about to appear in the interview for Army Medical College. I’ve heard that after completing your mbbs they won’t allow you to visit foreign and there are slim chances that they will allow you for spwcialization even in Pakistan. Really?
You can visit foreign countries after taking formal permission through a proper (sometimes lengthy) procedure only.
Specialization criteria is complex and is explained above in this post.
Can u give me info for female physical therapist in army and their elgibility criteria?
Pakistan Army is not inducting physiotherapists at the moment as uniform personnel.
You can join CMH / AFIRM as a civilian physiotherapist though. Please visit your nearest cmh / AFIRM for the joining process and interviews there.
sir if someone compelete mbbs and fcps1 in civil and then want to join army will he get induction as trainee ?? if yes?? what will be his rank ?
No. He will have to go through the same process as all other non-fcps doctors go.
He will be inducted as regular captain doctor
He will have to get prior confirmation (in written) from GHQ that his part-1 will be accepted (and he does not have to give part 1 again)
Even if his part-1 is accepted, he will have to wait for his turn in training.
how can we know that GDMO seats are now availabale? because mostly dont read mewspaper now a days. i have missed the date multiple times.. is there any solution to this?
You can check for the updates on official website of joining pak army. They mostly come in december or january.
Fcps part 1 k baad army kese join karskte hai. Post mai smajh nai aaraha. Aur part 2 k baad one is appointed as specialist right?
An you are posted at borders etc as gdmos are been posted right?
Army does not accept your part-1 exam done before joining the army. You might have to get written special permission if you want to retain it. Remember, in written, not verbal.
After part-2 you are posted to cmh mainly. Specialists do not work as gdmo mainly.
Written special permission from whom??
Permission from the Surgeon General of Pakistan Army.
Captian doctor ka bad agr min SSG commando ka course kerna chahon tu ker sakhta hon kia…?
It’s very hard to get that as medical crops don’t allow most of the time. Besides why would a doctor want to leave his field and effort of last 18 years & start a new field all together?
how can i join pak army after fsc for rank BPS 16,17,18
Depending upon your educational qualification, you can join as doctor (after mbbs/bds as captain or after FSC as medical cadet), nurse, computer engineer, psychologist, education corps, etc. based on the openings for that year in which you’re applying.
If someone is currently doing fcps training in a sub speciality as a civilian and he also applies for same sub speciality in pak army, what would be the possibilities for him to join pak army??
What will happen to his previous training??
If you apply in army as a uniform officer, then you can only join on basis of mbbs or completed FCPS.
Which specialty are you getting training in? Please explain your scenario for a better understanding so that we can guide you better.
If someone has completed his house job..but as army allow for fcps after 1.5 year..could he do housejob again in army
No. Army does not allow fcps after 1.5 year. It will allow if your total 2 years (including ante-date of 6 months due to hosuejob) complete before the start of that year. Also you’re allowed to appear in part-1 only, that too if you get permission in merit list for your speciality. Training will take more years after that to start if you clear part-1.
You can do housejob again in army if you don’t submit your previous hosuejob certificate, and thus you don’t get ante date seniority for that too.
Sir,you mean to say I know on basis of my merit list that in which FCPS speciality I am going to appear after 2yearat time of my basic military training…and is the time of bmt counted In my service?
BMT time is NOT included in army service.
You need to have completed 2 years by the end of last december. For example if you’re applying for permission in 2019 to give exam in 2020, you should be completing 2 years of service by the end of december 2019.
I am already medical officer in Sindh govt since one year..will army consider my job.?.and allow me to appear in part 1 earlier then other candidate…
Unfortunately no. You can confirm from recruitment centre at the time of joining too.
If someone with completed house job desire to do house job in park army again so that his period before appearing in part one completes ..could he do house job again
AoA.
Thank you for detailed post
I completed MBBS, Masters degree in medicine and PhD in medicine. I have published SIX papers in peer reviewed medical journals, most of them during PhD, part if research work.
I am keenly interested in research , teaching and public health. My MBBS registered with PM&DC , PhD equivalency pending with HEC but registered with HEC Pakistan.
I am working as a Lecturer in Community Medicine since January 2018 at a govt medical college in Punjab.
Questions:
1. Is NoC mandatory to submit before short service commission test ? NoC from govt college here takes weeks..
2. May I apply for Classified Specialist, not the clinical side (Basic Medical Science- Community Medicine or any other department) though my PhD recognized my HEC but pending with PM&DC.
3. Can basic Medical Science classified specialist private practice ??
Thank u in anticipation
1. If your job is permanent and bond based then you will need NOC in my opinion. You need to check from the recruitment centre at the time of applying too to confirm that.
2. You can apply for army doctor only on the basis of openings at the time when you are applying. Currently army only accepts FCPS or equivalent as clinical speciality in clinical sciences. Please check from recruitment centre at the time of applying too.
3. MBBS doctor is not allowed to do private practice. Specialists are not allowed to do private practice at all stations too.
I hope it helps.
If a person joins army in as an M cadet in 4th year and another joins after MBBS as GDMO, who will be promoted to the rank of Captain earlier? Please elaborate. As those who will join via M cadet will get their 22 weeks basic military training earlier than those who will join after completing MBBS or house job. Thank you in advance.
Both will be equal and will start bmt after completion of mbbs. Their service in captain rank will be equal and same too after the date of passing out of bmt.
Please reply honestly, I am interested in FCps radiology ,should I join army after clearing part 1 or I should join now ,then will they give me radiology as choice in future?
Chances are quite low for you to get radiology as a speciality. As it has very less seats and you might have to wait 4-5 years before you even give the exam apparently.
Aoa sir, please let me know if Basic training for gdmo is paid or unpaid? ?
The training is paid. But the payment is used in training itself for mess bills etc. So overall there is no such saving.
Sir,I have been suffering from back pain since one year, will army provide me lineancy during BMT?
Why do you want to join army if you’re not physically fit for it?
I am physically fit in everyway but had just back pain,so I can’t pickup heavy weight and do more pushups,I want to join army because I love it and I have completed my housejob as well..please suggest?
Being unable to pick heavy weight and do pushups means a person in physically unfit for military. Please don’t stress yourself into something which will damage your body further.
Assalam Alaikum,
Thank you very much for this informative post.
I would like to know what time of the year do they start the BMT for example in 2019 when will they start and also after completing BMT, will I be getting a break or the housejob will start right away?
if there is a break in between then how long it is for?
BMT sessions broadly average around May to October & November to April.
You get a leave of around 2-4 weeks after the BMT. And then you report to your posting station (unit or hospital for housejob etc.). So there is only nearly 1 month gap after BMT to start your housejob.
Okay.
Is it possible to take a leave during housejob for 2-3 weeks?
Is it possible to take a break/leave during the housejob for 2-3 weeks?
Thank you
Is it possible to take a break/leave during the housejob for 2-3 weeks?
Routinely it’s not easily possible. However, it can vary from case to case and situation to situation. What are you planning to get the leave for?
For my wedding purpose, will it be possible then?
the age required to join as gdmo is 28, can i join as gdmo at 24 years of age bcuz mbbs is completed at age 24 ? please answer.
can a major go to un missions?
Yes you can join as gdmo at age 24.
Major also goes on UN mission, depending upon the mission requirements slots and merit.
1..Is mrcp is allowed after joining army or one has to take permission for it also like FCps?
2…if some one completes his house job after joining in army …after how long he can appear in fcps either 1 year or 2 year?
1. MRCP is not accepted in Army. So even if you do it, it’s useless for you mainly. Exceptions do happen though.
2. You will get permission to appear in part-1 exam after 2+ years of total service. Then after passing part-1 you will have to wait from months to years to get training in that speciality (depending upon speciality).
When will the nwxt registrations open for GDMO
They are opened twice an year. Once around dec-january and second around june-july
Aoa if someone had eye surgery (lasik surgery )can she or he be eligible for joining pak army as a doctor ??will she or he be medically fit or not??
Yes you can join if you do not have any functional issue with your eyes. The medical officer taking medical will confirm you too if there is any update on this policy. You can check from nearest recruitment centre too.
Does Army provide Emergency medicine training at CMHs or not??
What is the criteria for induction of trainees,whether it depends upon your priority or it is on merit??
Pakistan Army has recently started developing Emergency Medicine department. The policy is subject to change as it’s new. Kindly visit your nearest CMH for latest update about it.
Salam If I have completed 9 months of housejob before induction will I have to repeat the entire year’s housejob after joining or will I be allowed to complete only the remaining 3 months for my housejob to be complete?
You will most likely have to do 6 months of housejob. Your previous 6 months will be accepted only and you will get 3 months antedate seniority due to that.
For joining AMC as GDMO after MBBS ,Is Piles or hemorrhoids an ineligibility and if it is then are you declared permanently unfit or just TUF ?
For joining army, in any course or corps, piles or haemorrhoids is an ineligibility. However you can join after treatment. Or you can also start the joining process and get them treated during the process by the same surgeon who checks for it.
Aoa!! I want to clear my part 1 just before applying for commission as a GDMO. Kindly guide me in which specialties there is a better chance to get an early training for a female ?
Your part1 done before joining will be invalid. Early training might be possible in gynae (after 3 years maybe). But things change from time to time so can’t be sure.
sir is there any book for gdmo academic test like dogars etc
Academic test for general duty medical officers (doctors) is generalized and we don’t have any specific study book for it specifically. If you want to study a single book then I would recommend first aid for usmle. But on the other hand if you are intelligent enough to study first aid for usmle, then why not simply appear in part-1 exam?
Does Army give training n Opthalmology?
I was thinking If i clear my Part-1 for Opthalmology and get letter from CMH that my part-1 will be accepted in Army…will i get specialization in Opthalmology? If yes then how soon?
Yes Pakistan Army does give training in opthalmology. If they give you in written that they will accept your part-1 done before joining army, then they will also mention on it that within how many years they will give you the training.
Sir can one join army as Mcdet if he has completed house job and want do again house job in pak army?
You will join army as GDMO after doing mbbs. Yes you can do housejob again. You will simply not submit your housejob certificate and apply as a fresh candidate who have not done housejob.
What is the uniform of female army doctors as gdmos? I know its saris, but simply other uniform , cant they? And do female gdmos go to battlefields and UN missions?
Lady doctors in Pakistan Army wear khaki sarhi mainly. They do have other uniform like camouflage but there is no such posting where they use it practically. Thus in almost all practical cases, they wear sarhi only (except during training, they wear camouflage uniform CCD in training at the time of joining Pakistan Army).
Female GDMO’s don’t go to battlefields.
Female GDMO’s do go to UN missions but mainly in hospitals, not with units as a general practice..
Is perfect vision required to join army as GDMO?
No. But you should be able to read 6/6 with eye glasses. You will be referred to CMH for getting vision checked by eye specialist.
asalamualaikum
my FCPS training for general surgery will end soon and i will be appearing for part 2 exam in September.
what are the chances for getting post as major in Pakistan army? how many seats are offer each year?
The openings vary every year. You will have to see if vacancy is announced for your qualification when you’re willing to apply to join Pakistan army as a specialist doctor.
Can u own a parlour or any other shop while being in army
You can not run any business while you are working for Pakistan Army.
I have lost my original dmc of fsc. Can i apply with duplicate dmc issued from Board office??
Yes you can apply with duplicate certificate.
Is there any relaxation in BMI for overweight preson willing to joion as medical cadet…???
The medical officer at the AS&RC where you’re applying is the authority and can give you time to lose weight if you’re over weight.
And i have height issue so can i apply as medical student in CMH lahore???
You can join as a civilian medical student without any issue. Medical fitness is only for uniform personnels.
If we join after mbbs then how many years it will take to become a specialist doctor and how many years it will take if we want to do mbbs from army medical college???
Kindly clear it…..
Rules and policies are same for both amcolians and graduates of other medical colleges.
Number of years to become a specialist depend on many factors. Broad outline is given in the articles.
MBBS in any medical college of Pakistan is of 5 years.
