Making students the center of everything we do at SMDC, our ultimate goal is to deliver and inculcate the best medical practices in order to produce competent and compassionate health professionals who discover better ways to fight diseases.

For each of the past 8 years, a new group of students has entered the Shalamar Medical & Dental College in pursuit of a medical degree. Students who get admitted to SMDC know that they will make personal sacrifices to achieve their dream of becoming a physician. Yet, they embrace those sacrifices happily and move forward towards their goal. Every time I meet a freshman class of medical students for the first time I am reminded of what is best about working in medical education – fresh and inspired thinking, lofty goals, and a pure commitment of helping others. With a progressive thinking, and constant pursuit for improvement, tie-ups with various national and international organizations have been made. The College now has the unique advantage to benefit from GEMx, the Global Education in Medicine Exchange Program. I encourage students to take full advantage of the facilities available and perform to their full potential. It is ensured that our faculty and administration will always be supportive in all endeavors you take. Our interdisciplinary model is the future of biomedicine, and we are transforming the ways in which medical education is imparted. Our approach to teaching tomorrow’s doctors, scientists and healthcare professionals is among the most innovative. Among our greatest accomplishments is the recruitment of some of the most renowned clinical and research faculty, the application of new information technology to further, online and virtual learning, and the expansion of our academic facility to better meet the needs of our students. From our classrooms to our clinical teachings, I experience the remarkable energy and harmony that underpin a culture of collaboration and achievement at our institution. Our students work together in research projects that are both basic science and clinical in nature.

There is a generally accepted need to preserve certain fundamental principles that the rational practice of medicine rests on, namely a firm understanding of the basic medical sciences. Yet the great advances in medicine, the need to reasonably limit the number of years of formal education, the increasing number and complexity of special fields, and the diversity of interests and talents among students all demand continual examination and evaluation of our educational aims and processes.

The Curriculum in Surgery is aimed at providing students with a clear and concise overview of the surgical teaching in the clinical phase of their studies at the Shalamar Medical &Dental College, which is carried out at the Shalamar Teaching Hospital and Fauji Foundation Teaching Hospital. The Department of Surgery has a strong network that traverses outpatient rooms, surgical wards, emergency wards and operation theaters. The Department is responsible for surgical teaching of medical students throughout the five years of the undergraduate curriculum. In addition to the undergraduate teaching, it also serves as a platform for skills related research and CPSP recognized postgraduate training. The faculty aims to bring the department to a stage where they are recognized both nationally and internationally as world class leaders in surgery using the traditional metrics that are applied to such rankings including peer reviewed publications, surgical expertise, education and innovation.

In case a student fails to pass the Professional MBBS Examination in the second annual examination, his/her provisional promotion to the next higher class shall stand automatically cancelled and he / she shall revert to the previous class. All lectures and practical etc. attended during his / her provisional promotion shall also stand cancelled. If a student appears in the second annual examination for the first time as he / she did not appear in the first annual examination and fails in any subject in the second annual examination, he / she will not be promoted to the next class. The Principal reserves the right to detain any student from appearing in the Professional MBBS University Examination at any stage, if in his opinion, the student is found to be short of attendance in theory or practical of any subject or his work is reported to be unsatisfactory by any Professor or if in the opinion of the Principal, the character and conduct of the student is unsatisfactory.

ATTENDANCE POLICY 1.

All students are expected to attend the lectures, practicals, tutorials, demonstrations and hospital clinical wards with regularity and punctuality.

According to UHS & PMDC Regulations, a minimum of 75% attendance out of lectures delivered and practices / clinical sessions conducted during the academic year, in each of the examination subject individually, is Mandatory for students to become eligible to appear in the professional examinations. Academic year for subjects taught over 2-3 years shall mean the entire period of instruction spread over a number of years and shall not be construed as limited to final year subjects with a minimum of 75% attendance in the final year only, but 75% attendance shall be counted as spread over entire period of instructions.

The margin of 25% of absence in lectures, practicals, tutorials, demonstrations and clinical wards is discouraged but is intended to cover those unavoidable absences, which result on account of sickness or special emergencies.

In case of intended absence, leave should be applied by the student recommended by the head of year committee and approved by the Principal for consideration of any remediation of academic activities during the period of leave.

In all cases, leave taken will be at the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own risk so far as the percentage of attendance is concerned and even a medical certificate will not condone for any deficiency in attendance.

6. Repeated absence from lectures, practicals, tutorials, demonstrations and hospital clinical wards, without any justified/ cogent reasons, will make a student liable for disciplinary action as well as the risk of falling short of a minimum of 75% attendance, in each of the examination subject, will increase. 7.

The students must periodically check their attendance record from the concerned department or Notice Boards.

2016-17

The students who do not meet the required 75% of attendance (as mentioned above) due to late admission or even otherwise will have to make up their deficiencies by attending special classes during summer vacation or preparatory holidays. Schedule of such special class will be notified on Notice Boards and it shall be the responsibility of the students which are short of 75% attendance in each of the examination subject to enroll onto such classes and complete the short fall and SMDC shall not be responsible for any lapse on the part of any such student.

In case of clinical rotations, students who fail to meet the minimum of 75% attendance will have to do remedial rotations. In case of an attendance between 50-74.9%, half of the rotation will have to be repeated. In case the attendance is below 50%, the entire rotation will have to be repeated.

10.

The students who fail to meet the required attendance will have to fulfill the shortage during the academic breaks.

11. In subjects taught over a period of more than one year e.g. Community Medicine, Behavioral Sciences, Medicine, Surgery, ENT, Eye, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics etc., students are required to have & maintain overall 75% attendance during whole period of instructions and 75% attendance in any one of such years shall not be considered as meeting the requirement of UHS & SMDC regulations and any student having less than 75% attendance and / or the required achievement in internal assessment, over the entire period of instructions, spread over more than one year, in lectures, practical/clinical, separately in each examination subject of a professional examination will not be eligible to be admitted to that examination. It is made clear that 75% or more attendance in just one and / or last year of the subject, which is taught over more than one year, shall not entitle a student to claim eligibility on this basis.

Medical & Dental College

DETAINED STUDENTS

Teaching, training, syllabus, courses, send up examinations etc, are carried out according to the rules and regulations of the concerned University i.e. UHS.

Send Up examinations are compulsory for students of all classes. Students who do not appear or fail in the examination will be regarded as students whose courses of instructions are incomplete and unsatisfactory and will not be allowed to appear in the university professional examination for promotion to the next higher class and may also loose the scholarship, if any, ranted to them. Mere receipt of fee by SMDC for UHS examination shall not be taken to be evidence of student meeting the eligibility criteria for examination.

In case a student fails to pass the Professional Examination in annual as well as supplementary examination his provisional promotion to the next higher class shall stand automatically cancelled and he/she shall revert to the previous class and the academic credits earned during his/her provisional promotion shall also stand cancelled.

If a student appears in the supplementary examination for the first time as he/she did not appear in the annual examination and failed in any subject in the supplementary examination, he/she will be detained in the same class and will not be promoted to the next class. Promotion on CARRY ON basis will not be allowed under any circumstances.

The Principal SMDC reserves the right to detain any student from appearing in the Professional University Examination at any stage, if in his/her opinion, the student is found to be short of attendance in theory or practical of any subject or his work is reported to be unsatisfactory by any professor, lecturer or if in the opinion of the head of the institution the character and conduct of the student is unsatisfactory.

Students who have been detained for failing to meet the required

thresholds of Teaching, Training, Syllabus, Courses, Send up Examinations, Attendance percentage or for failing to meet the UHS, PMDC Regulations and/or due to violation of any other requirement of attendance policy of SMDC shall be detained in a particular class will and such students shall have to attend at least 75% of lectures, practicals, demonstrations in all failed subjects and all hospital clinical wards with their new batch (after the result of the second annual examinations), failing which they will not be allowed to appear in the subsequent professional examinations along with non-examination subjects taught during the year. 7.

In subjects taught over a period of more than one year e.g. Community Medicine, Behavioral Sciences, Medicine, Surgery, ENT, Eye, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics etc., students having less than 75% attendance and or the required achievement in internal assessment, over the entire period of instructions in lectures, practical/clinical, separately in each examination subject of a professional examination will not be admitted to that examination. It is made clear that 75% attendance requirement shall have to be met in every year of entire period instructions of such subjects.

For clinical subjects, the students will have to get their ward cards completed and signed at the end of each rotation. Students who do not get these signed for each rotation will be ineligible to appear in the subsequent professional examination for that year.

Before appearing in the University Examination, the students will be required to produce â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No Dues Certificateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from the contractor of college and Hostel Tuck Shops, College Cashier, College Librarian and hostel warden. Those students who are unable to produce the same will be liable to be detained by the head of the institution from appearing in the university professional examination.

INTERNAL ASSESSMENT POLICY Institutions have a responsibility of controlling the quality of students that graduate from them and become part of a profession. This becomes even more important in the medical profession as the graduates will be dealing with something as precious as human lives. In order to ensure that each of the medical students passing out of SMDC has the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude as a doctor and a high quality professional, it is imperative that quality control mechanisms are in place and remain effective. Internal assessment of students that ensure the acquisition of necessary proficiency in the cognitive, psychomotor and effective domains is one such quality control mechanism. This also is the first line of defense; with the university examinations being the second line for ensuring that the right people enter the profession. A minimum of 50% pass marks in the internal assessment (i.e. 50% marks in theory and 50% in practicals) are Mandatory for being sent up for the university examinations. This is to be calculated on a cumulative basis by determining the average score over all the examinations conducted in that subject in the session or over the entire period of instructions in case of subjects taught over a period of more than one year. Please note, for subject taught over more than one year, but examined by UHS only at the end of last year of the entire period of instruction, the internal assessment forming the basis of being sent up for university examinations will be the cumulative internal assessment calculated for all assessments conducted in the particular subject which is taught over the 2-3 years period of instruction of that subject and such cumulative internal assessment shall not be construed as meeting the required eligibility criteria for such subject(s). The students are sent-up based on individual subjectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assessment. Sending up a student shall not be taken to mean that the student

SMDC Prospectus

2016-17

has met the attendance or eligibility criteria for the subject, course of instructions for which is spread over a number of years. To ensure that the objectives of clinical rotations are being met and the student is prepared to take on the higher order learning objectives of the subsequent clinical rotation in the same or related subject, it shall be Mandatory to clear the rotation in the particular year failing which being sent up for the university examination for that year will be withheld. In case a student fails to maintain the required internal assessment, an opportunity of remediation may be given during the summer break or other such periods as feasible. In case of clinical rotations, this shall be done with the subsequent batch or during the academic breaks if occurring after a clinical rotation. However, in case of a concomitant shortage of attendance, the internal assessment will follow the mandated remedial rotation. Students, who do not clear/pass the end of rotation examination in the first attempt, will have to appear in the end of rotation assessment with the subsequent batch or during the academic break as feasible. Weightage of internal assessment shall be 10% in all subjects. The score of internal assessment shall contribute 10% to practical score in the final examination. Final university examination of each subject shall contribute 90% to total score, and the candidate shall pass in aggregate. Award of Grace Marks or any such increase in marks by any other manner shall not permissible under any circumstances in any subject or examination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A student must have 75% attendance in PBL separately to be considered as eligible for taking professional examinationâ&#x20AC;?.
