Say, you have a cough. Maybe it’s the air, maybe just the season for infections. You don’t think much of it. After all you’re an adult and you’ve had infections hundreds of times. It’ll go away. But let’s say it persists for a day or two. You get a fever too. Your parents worry. Especially your mom. They go out and buy you medicine if you don’t have it at home already. They hover over you, pamper you, cater to you. In a few days, you recover.  Everything’s forgotten and you go back to your happily ever after.

And the WINNERS are....

By Waqas Nawaz M.D
Students are asking whether they should skip house job if they are preparing for USA . I would say against it . Burning boats is never good option. If you think you cannot study with major fields house job, better do house job in ENT, Plastic Surgery. Following points highlight its importance:

1. by doing 12 month house job , you show in your CV that you were not away from clinical while preparing steps that is really important question asked by all programs during interviews.
2. You become eligible for Qatar residency program by doing house job that should be your plan B.
3. You become eligible for FCPS part 1 that should be your plan C.
4. You become eligible for PPSC MO jobs that should be your plan D.
5. You know clinical stuff and dealing with patients.
6. You have strong answers In visa interview that you are earning.
7. You can do small jobs in Pak between step 3, interview and match season that require house      job.
So never under look house job,

USMLE STEP 1 Experience by Sara Atiq Khan Score 268 (April 2014)


The beginning....
Technically I started studying by mid may 2013, got the books organized and asked around about how to go about scheduling myself. my aim was to give the exam by January or February 2014. the 1st couple of weeks I was very lazy, didn't actually get serious till beginning of June. Started off with physio because it was a weak subject for me having lived through the Prof Akram era, took me about two weeks to do it with lectures. Then I did something easy to give myself a break, did anatomy without lectures, and finished it in about a week.

To, The Short Video Makers, Crème de la crème, KEMU,Lahore.



Dear Kemcolians,   I have a few words to share with you, the video makers in KEMU. Let me begin by telling you a little from my memory at KEMU.

Lahore. Year 2007. In the den of Kings & Queens, a competition was held , for the first time in the history of any Medical college in Pakistan, for the first time in the history of any Engineering university in Pakistan, It was- Inter-Class Short Video Competition with Music Show, in (old) auditorium of KEMU. Few arts colleges in Lahore and Karachi had organized such video competitions till that year. But not with the same enthusiasm, as kemcolians did it. It was a shocking news for media personnel, with newspapers stating"Video Competition is held at KEMU, and the moment of surprise is that the videos have been made and edited by medical students themselves". It was a moment of surprise for the…

Education I have had my schooling from the Convent. My teachers were nuns and they were extremely dedicated, pushing us forward in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. Hardly a day would go by when we wouldn’t have any activity. I did my FSc from Kinnaird and Mbbs from King Edward, Class of 2001.
My first research was published in 2001 in my final year in Impact Factor Journal.
