PNS Shifa Hospital Karachi MRCP (UK) PACES Examination
PNS Shifa Hospital, Karachi, reached a major academic milestone with its approval as an official examination centre for the MRCP (UK) PACES Part 2 Clinical Examination in November 2024. This prestigious international assessment, conducted on behalf of the three Royal Colleges of Physicians, evaluates the core clinical skills expected of physicians worldwide.
The approval was accorded following a comprehensive MRCP (UK) PACES Pathfinder Mock Clinical Examination conducted at PNS Shifa Hospital in January 2025. Led by senior leadership and specialist faculty, the exercise thoroughly evaluated the hospital’s examination infrastructure, examiner preparedness, availability of standardized patients, and logistical arrangements. The successful completion of this rigorous process confirmed that the institution met the high international standards required to host this globally recognised examination.
“Being designated as an official MRCP (UK) PACES examination centre is an honour for PNS Shifa,” stated the hospital administration. “This achievement reflects our commitment to advancing medical education and providing world-class training opportunities for healthcare professionals. PNS Shifa is proud to contribute to international examination standards and looks forward to continued collaboration with the Royal Colleges of Physicians in the United Kingdom.”
Adding to this achievement, several faculty members from PNS Shifa Hospital were certified as MRCP (UK) PACES examiners. Their accreditation further strengthened the hospital’s role in advanced clinical training and assessment.
“The first official MRCP (PACES) UK examination was conducted at PNS Shifa Hospital from 12 to 14 December 2025.”
The Administration of PNS Shifa Hospital extended sincere appreciation to all departments and staff whose collective efforts made this achievement possible. “This milestone reflects our shared commitment to excellence in healthcare education. Hosting the MRCP (UK) PACES examination and having certified faculty examiners represent a proud moment for this esteemed institution. We look forward to further expanding our training capabilities and supporting future international assessments.”
With this recognition, PNS Shifa Hospital, Karachi, further establishes itself as a leading centre for clinical examinations in Pakistan, committed to promoting the highest standards of medical training and professional development.
