J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;57(5):267-70.

In order to assess the ground realities in Pakistan, we need to look at the current scenario in terms of psychiatric training. In Pakistan, an autonomous body with a close liaison of PMDC and the Government of Pakistan regulates the postgraduate education and training in medical profession. This body is the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP) with its main office in Karachi and regional offices in almost all the big cities of Pakistan. The college offers Diploma (DCPS) and Fellowship (FCPS) exams in various disciplines of Medicine including Psychiatry. The CPSP is also responsible for accrediting academic and clinical institutes for postgraduate training and education in the various fields of Medicine across the country. The CPSP with the help of subject experts prescribes a training curriculum that is structured, competence-based and time-framed. This is a review article.
