Make the Right Move, Decide Now!

Review by
Haleema Munir,AIMC,
Faisal Inayat,AIMC,

Atika Jabeen,AIMC ( Project Director)


It is not uncommon to find medical students who are in the final year of their MBBS but still are completely unaware of the course they are to adopt for the post-graduation studies. A huge majority of these youngsters are negligent of most of the postgraduate programs being offered locally as well as abroad.
'Failing to plan is planning to fail'

As an antidote to this lack of awareness with respect to the career opportunities for medical students, International Federation of Medical Students’ Association, Local Council (AIMC), organized a “Career Guidance Seminar for Medical Students” in collaboration with AIMCON. The event was a huge success with maximum participation from medical students from medical colleges from all over the city.

WHEN ALLOTMENT BECOMES A MESS !

By Aushna Rasool

Allotment in King Edward GIRLS HOSTEL is more like an election season!

hype…hoopla…excitement….stochasticity…politics…fun….IT’S ABOUT EVERYTHING!
dedicated to the VICTIMS OF ALLOTMENT :P

IFMSA- Lahore presents "CAREER GUIDANCE SEMINAR" -- Time to Decide your Future!


“Would you tell me please which way I ought to walk from here?”
‘That depends on a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat.
‘I don’t  much care where--’ said Alice
“Then it doesn’t matter which way to walk,”said the Cat.
(Alice’s adventures in Wonderland)

So It is very important to ‘begin with the end in mind’ as Sean Covey phrases it. Previously It was  the dream of coming into KEMU behind my every action.  Every test that I rattalized in FSc, Every night that I spent with those extremely boring books was  Yes, for the 'Greater Good.’
And then time passed and Allah by His Kindness granted me KEMU. So What further now?
Study. Ok.
