ABSTRACT

Background and Aim: As the new millennium dawned, there were numerous difficulties to overcome, particularly in the field of health education. As the first line of defence against many diseases, oral health was given prime consideration. The study's primary goal is to identify the challenges faced by Pakistan's medical education system.

Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study

Place and Duration: Department of Medical Education CMH Institute of Medical Sciences, Bahawalpur during from September 2020 to Jan 2021.

Methodology: The data was collected from 200 participants of different age groups from FSc to Ist year of medical colleges. We wish to examine the difficulties that students and their families faced at the beginning and during their medical education in Pakistan.

Results: A total of 200 people were surveyed. Interviews were performed with each and every one of the individuals who had been shortlisted. We then come across the following issues that students and their families faced while pursuing medical degrees in Pakistan. The mainstay of education at the undergraduate and graduate levels is the standardisation of instruction. Lectures are considered to be the most efficient method of delivering information to students, as they need minimal engagement from the students.

Conclusion: Medical educationists, teachers, administrators, and policymakers in poor nations should endeavour to transform the adversary of difficulties into a chance to construct excellent learning programmes. Perhaps it will lead to new pathways of lear.
