In a groundbreaking move, the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) in Islamabad has rekindled its commitment to medical education with the introduction of the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program under its newly established NUST School of Health Sciences (NSHS). This marks a significant departure from its previous focus on engineering, business, and social sciences, showcasing NUST’s dedication to providing comprehensive education across diverse disciplines.
The Evolution of NUST’s Medical Programs:
Historically, NUST’s involvement in medical education was channeled through the Army Medical College (AMC), which became part of the National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) when it attained university status. This transition led NUST to concentrate solely on engineering, business, and social sciences. However, as we step into 2024, NUST has once again ventured into the realm of medical education with the inception of the MBBS program under NSHS.
