MESSAGE OF VICE CHANCELLOR

It is indeed a great pleasure for me to welcome the new

medical students at Chandka Medical College (CMC),
Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical College (GMMMC) and
Bibi Aseefa Dental College (BADC) for the year 2023– 2024
at SMBBMU Larkana.

Congratulations to all of you for choosing to study the great

field of medicine and dentistry at SMBBMU. We hope to
make it a fruitful and enjoyable experience for you!

Although medicine and dentistry are considered to be one of

the most challenging areas of study, these are also one of the
most rewarding and fulfilling professions. It demands
persistent motivation and hard work along with dedicated
long hours of study to achieve the level of competence
required for a good doctor.

Living on a university campus is a life-changing experience for everyone. Here, you will not only be learning the art and
science of medicine but will also be socializing, making friends and developing life-long relationships. During these five
years, you will be exposed to vast amounts of medical knowledge, scientific research and clinical skills. However, it is
equally important, if not more, to learn the right attitudes and behaviors expected of a good physician. We hope to
inculcate among you the professional values of honesty, integrity, respect, empathy and compassion to help you to
develop into mature and confident physicians of tomorrow. Being the custodians of health of the society, you need to
gain the trust of the people. This matches with our vision and mission of serving our local, national and global
communities.

At SMBBMU, we strive to provide good quality education and a positive learning environment for the students. We
encourage a culture of diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination where each student brings their unique perspective and
capabilities to enrich the university community.

In today‟s world of rapid advancements in technology and cut-throat competition, it is no longer enough to be just good
in studies. Developing a holistic personality, and participating in sports and extra-curricular activities including debates,
music, drama, and art are important for physical and mental wellbeing of students.

We hope to build a positive long-term relationship with all of you, first as our students, and later as our valuable alumni
who would continue to give back to their alma mater!

Wish you all the best!
