program for the first time in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This program would enable the
Health Professions of the country and province in particular to bring necessary
changes in training of health educators in accordance with global challenges
and local needs.

educators to develop necessary skills to lead our educational enterprise

to address educational challenges.
1.2 RATIONALE
The education of health professionals has a
direct effect on improving human resources for health in support of national
priorities. Worldwide, health professions education has undergone a significant
change during the past few decades. The focus has moved from a scientific and
technical to include a more practical and applied approach in the context
of the social responsibility of medical schools and a commitment to the
integration of teaching experiences and teacher development for day to day
work.
New advancements in learning methods, assessment
of students, curriculum design, faculty development and the evaluation of
programs for health professions education have created an imperative for
capacity building among the teaching staff in health professions institutions
in Pakistan. Among the many possible strategies to meet this need is the
development of a high level of practical and applied capacity building among a
sufficient number of teachers at regional health professions institutions
throughout Pakistan.
This can be achieved through an Master in Health
Professions Education (MHPE) that includes advanced study and research dealing
with: the development of the ability to read and apply literature from the
international and national communities to local and regional situations,
promotion of the capacity to develop other professors in contemporary
approaches to health professions education, improvement of the conduct and
organization of student assessment at all levels, and application of approaches
to the rigorous evaluation of curriculum and new programs.
2.3 NEED ASSESSMENT
There exists today in Pakistani medical colleges
a continuing need for specialized and advanced study in how education is best
applied in national institutions. Khyber medical university also needs such
dynamic educators who would improve health education perspective in this area.
There is a great demand for post-graduate academic programs in this area to
develop skills that could bring about this change, and develop our institutions
at par with international centers. By using the experience of the professionals
who conduct research and work in different institutions devoted to health
professions education this program is developed. This program will be run by
