Biannual Research day Anatomy Fall 2017

The Bi-Annual Research day of Anatomy was conducted at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Khyber Medical University. The aim is to,

  • Encourage students to develop an analytical and critical view of research
  • Impart the importance of research to junior students and extend an environment of mentoring amongst students at various levels of their research
  • Enable networking with invited guests from other departments

These are clearly linked to the University’s strategic aim of:

  • Creating a research, knowledge sharing and enhancement culture, to ensure that experience, good practice and know how are capitalised within and across faculties.
