Message
Sindh Medical College (SMC) was constituted by Government of Sindh on 7th April 1973. In the beginning, the college was built in the building of pediatric ward of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi, which was previously an army barrack, constructed in the year 1865. In 1959 it became part of the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC). First batch of about 200 students were admitted to first year MBBS in 1973 – 74, Now the 350 students were admitted in each year.
Sindh Medical College, is a Premier Medical Teaching Institution which has recently celebrating its 50th anniversary of establishment; that is a unique honor in itself. On behalf of the faculty, staff members and students of the college, I extend a very warm welcome to parents and students considering admission in Sindh Medical College. You are making one of the most important decisions of your life and have opted for a career that is exciting, rewarding, and perhaps most important exquisitely humbling. We understand that the true measure of an educational institute is not just to gain academic excellence but also to nurture creativity, individuality, and leadership in the students while striving for quality in teaching and learning.
The value of education is perceived only when it is shared or practiced for a dignified cause. Hence, our goal is to produce competent doctors who have knowledge, intellect, and integrity. Our intention is to provide a safe and intellectually challenging environment that will enable the students to become innovative thinkers, creative, problem solvers, and inspired learners prepared to thrive in this progressive world.
MI want my students to be efficient, professional, disciplined, dedicated, ethical and punctual. I am sure that the students getting admission in this medical college would feel proud in future to have graduated from an institution having a mark of excellence. I wish you best of luck in your profession and life.
