Five new doctoral programs aiming to broaden health-related research and education were approved by the University of Health Sciences Lahore, according to an announcement following a recent administrative meeting. Leadership greenlit the postgraduate tracks during the 96th Syndicate session, which took place under the direction of Vice Chancellor Maj Gen (R) Prof. Dr. Sohail Sabir.
Doctoral studies will now be available in Pharmacy, Nursing, Public Health, Oral Biology and Medical Laboratory Sciences. While these additions increase options for advanced study, officials have not yet disclosed details regarding available seats, eligibility rules, or the start date for student applications.
Alongside the new doctoral subjects, the Syndicate authorized the creation of a specialized Department of Regenerative Medicine. This new academic unit will run both MPhil and PhD courses.
Additional resolutions from the meeting covered updated syllabi for PharmD, postgraduate dental tracks, Allied Health Sciences, and general postgraduate studies. The board also adjusted admission test rules and qualification standards for specific MPhil and PhD tracks.
