PAME prepares provisional list of Supervisors
KARACHI: Pakistan Associate of Medical Editors (PAME) after detailed discussions has prepared a provisional list of Supervisors for Diploma in Medical Journalism by University of Health Sciences. The list has been submitted to the UHS for approval. While preparing the list, only those renowned researchers, medical editors, supervisors, Mentors who also have contributed enormously in the field of medical education and are willing to spare their precious time for this academic activity were considered. In principle none of the candidates who have earned Certificate in Medical Editing (CME) or qualified Certificate in Medical Journalism and Editing (CMJE) by UHS was considered since they are going to be the candidates themselves. After the first batch qualifies, some of them may be included among the list of Supervisors.
Only those candidates who have qualified CMJE are eligible for enrollment for the Diploma course for which they are required to prepare a synopsis as per guidelines of UHS, get it approved from the UHS and then prepare the Research report under the guidance of these supervisors. Once their report is approved, they will be entitled to get Diploma certificates.
Candidates who have done CME or CMEJ from KEMU/CorTeach can also apply for enrollment in CMJE after appearing in an online test to ensure that they have learnt the basics. Few slots for these candidates have been kept. Those interested can contact UHS or the CME Advisor for UHS Mr. Shaukat Ali Jawaid at pulse@pulsepakistan.com.
