The University of Health Sciences (UHS) has launched a province-wide digital platform, PRIME, to monitor medical education, clinical training and professional competency assessments across Punjab.
Provincial Minister for Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Khawaja Salman Rafique inaugurated the platform at UHS. Its first phase will cover approximately 3,300 postgraduate medical and dental trainees enrolled in MS, MD and MDS programs at 33 training institutions. Around 1,100 supervisors will also be registered on the portal.
PRIME will replace traditional paper logbooks with digital records to track clinical cases, procedures, attendance, rotations, research activities and performance assessments. Supervisors will be able to verify trainees’ work, provide feedback and monitor their progress, while institutional dashboards will help UHS identify training gaps and assess education standards.
UHS Vice Chancellor Maj Gen Prof. Sohail Sabir (Retd) said the platform would focus on practical clinical competence and verified professional skills. The second phase will extend the system to MBBS, BDS and house-job training, covering around 33,875 students and house officers across 60 institutions. The third phase will include Nursing, Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences programs, bringing approximately 31,734 students from 180 institutions onto the platform.
