University of Health Sciences Sets Up Nationwide Faculty Councils to Boost Teaching and Research

The University of Health Sciences (UHS) is enhancing its academic framework by launching Discipline-Specific Faculty Councils (DSFCs) aimed at improving teaching standards, research output, and assessment practices across its on-campus, constituent, and affiliated institutions. These councils will organize continued professional development activities and foster better communication between UHS and its affiliates, with each council chaired by the senior-most professor in its specialty. The first seminar under this initiative, focused on updates in physiology research, was recently conducted and attended by faculty from various medical colleges. Additionally, UHS is preparing to announce admissions for several postgraduate programs at the Institute of Public Health, including MPhil, Masters, Diplomas, and PhD programs, while ensuring transparency in the admission process. These developments reflect UHS's commitment to academic excellence and structured faculty engagement across its extensive network of over 100 medical, dental, nursing, and allied health institutions.
