Participants engaged in discussions on career opportunities in the USA, UK, and Pakistan, with four major talks delivered by experts: Dr. Muhammad Kashif Shazlee on strategic career planning for doctors, Dr. Asif Hussain on career opportunities in the USA, Dr. Syed Ehtasham Junaid (virtually) on medical careers in the UK, and Dr. Ghina Shameem Shamsi on building a successful medical career in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The session, chaired by Prof. Prof. Aisha Siddiqa, Vice President of CPSP, covered CPSP&#8217;s international routes and scholarships, noting that less than 50% of eligible candidates apply for international slots due to lack of awareness. Prof. Ayesha stressed that CPSP is merit-based, and highlighted high-demand fields such as Anesthesia, Intensive Care, and Interventional Radiology, along with other emerging subspecialties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also addressed the issue of 40% of female MBBS graduates not practicing post-qualification, suggesting the implementation of a quota system for male students and separate medical colleges for men to tackle Pakistan&#8217;s healthcare professional shortage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Career Guidance Seminar was a key session at PIMA&#8217;s 27th Central Convention, drawing significant interest from young doctors and medical students.
