Overview of University
Infrastructure & Human Resource Development
One of the important challenges faced with the up-gradation of the Rawalpindi Medical College to the status of the university was the unavailability of the basic infrastructure required for the university including a separate university secretariat hosting the important components of the university life VC office, Registrar office, Examination cell, etc. Ensuring their availability was one of the primary requirements of the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan as per the guidelines published for the recognition of a university. Apart from the development of the basic university infrastructure, we were also required to revamp our human resources to fulfill the new responsibilities as well gear up for future challenges, including ever-increasing patient load in our attached tertiary care teaching hospitals. To meet the requirements of the regulatory bodies and our unshakeable commitment towards patient care required us to take immediate actions on was footings to build the required infrastructure and upgrade the human resource pool.
