Department of Gen. Medicine

Head Of Department: Prof.Shajee Ahmed Siddique

The department of general medicine was established in 1986 atPiMS, when the hospital was in its preliminary stages.For almost the last 8 years the department of medicine has been functionally divided into two separate units,Unit 1. Headed by Professor Drjamal Zafar and unit 2, Headed by Professor Dr. Rauf Niazi.

 Unit 2 has also recently been recognized by the CPSP for training in Endocrinology and aims to evolve into a state of the art endocrine department over the next 2 yrs.The department of medicine unit 2 has 22 beds including a 4 bedded high dependency area. We have a busy OPD (Thrice weekly), catering to 250-350 patients daily , for the catchment area including Islamabad and its vicinity ,KPK, KASHMIR,and areas till southern Punjab. We also provide emergency services to patients from all these areas and have around 10-15 admissions in the ward on a daily basis. The department can boast of having one of the best faculties which is devoted and committed to providing patient care and simultaneously imparting quality postgraduate training. There is a structured teaching program which revolves around lectures,presentations, journal clubs, mortality meetings, research and regular evaluation of trainees. The department offers training for FCPS Medicine,MD Medicine, MRCP (UK), and has thus far produced more than 150 post graduates who continue to offer their sound services both overseas and to homeland itself. In addition we also train subspecialists for the first 18 months before they pursue CARDIOLOGY,NEUROLOGY, GASTROENTEROLOGY, PULMONOLOGY, DERMATOLOGY and other specialties. The department has been recognized by CPSP for the training of ENDOCRINOLOGY and has already gone ahead with the selection of trainees for the FCPS Endocrinology program. We are hoping to evolve into a separate department of endocrinology within the next 2 years offering both FCPS and MD programs. Over the last 8 years the department has contributed towards health care, health professional training and providing social services and support to our patients and inshallah will continue to do so.
