The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council has moved into the final phase of launching a nationwide Digital Inspector Training Program, a step that signals a major shift toward modern, technology-driven oversight of medical and dental colleges.
Officials say the initiative will significantly raise inspection quality and improve transparency across the country. The program is set for December 9 to 11, 2025, and the council has now completed all technical and logistical planning.
A high-level meeting took place at the council’s headquarters in Islamabad, where the PMDC president led a detailed review of the national rollout. Twelve master trainers from multiple regions joined the session and examined the full training structure. They went through the inspection modules, the digital evaluation flow, equipment operations, materials, and assessment tools.
Leadership emphasized that inspectors must be ready for a fully digital and uniform inspection system. They noted that the new model aligns with global practices and aims to remove inconsistencies in the current framework. The meeting also approved all documented protocols, an updated inspector guide, a unified digital platform, and standardized reporting rules.
According to the council, the digital system will reduce human error and strengthen quality assurance across medical and dental institutions. It will also support better performance evaluation, which remains a key national priority.
The PMDC expressed confidence that the upcoming training will become a turning point in regulatory oversight and will help raise the overall standard of medical and dental education in Pakistan.
