Pathology Department

The Department

The department is situated on the first floor of the main C.P.S.P. building and has a well equipped laboratory, three excellent seminar / conference rooms and a developing Learning Resources Centre.A fair collection of Histopathology specimens are on display and there are on going effort to develop it into a Pathology museum. The department is currently headed by Dr. S. Mohsin Anvery.

The Objective

The department was established in January, 1981 to meet learning needs of the postgraduate trainees. It has since, developed the broader role of promoting Pathology as a specialty, helping to train personnel at all levels and providing opportunities for C.M.E. and C.P.D. for Pathologists practicing Histopathology, Haematology, Microbiology, Chemical Pathology and Immunology.

Activities of the Department

(A) Courses Workshops and Seminars

1. Basic Medical Sciences (B.M.S) Course for F.C.P.S -1

A five week full time course is conducted twice a year for F.C.P.S-I, can1idates. It covers basic and applied Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology. Teachers are invited from all over Pakistan to participate. The next course is SChedU7ed from 15thAugust to 15thSeptember, 2006.

2. Courses for F.C.P.S - 11

(a). A full time two week course in Histopathology is conducted every year. Senior Professors add the wealth of their
      experience to the course.
(b). Regular annual Courses in Microbiology, Haematnlogy and Chemicalpathology are being developed and would be in place
      shortly.

3. Monthly Scientific Meetings / Seminars

Each major discipline of Pathology holds a scientific meeting / seminar once a month in the departmentof Pathology C.P.S.P, participated by the Consultants, Supervisors and Trainees. Presently the schedule is I.

. Haematology .........................8:30AM first Thursday of the Month.
. Histopathology.......................9:00 AM second Saturday of the Month.
. Microbiology...........................8:30AM third Tuesday of the Month.
. Chemical Pathology.................8:30A.M last Friday of the Month.

4. Cytotechnology Training

Realising the importance of Cytopathology and dearth of trained technicians in the field, the department initiated a regular Cytopathology training programme in July, 1981. So far about hundred (100) Cytotechnologists have been trained by the department.The training program is being revised and upgraded.

5. Workshops by foreign experts

The department collaborates with international heath related organizations like U.N.D.P and W.H.O and has excellent relations with Pathology departments in Post Graduate Centres abroad. Renowned foreign pathologists are invited to conduct workshops in their area of expertise. To date more than thirty five (35) such workshops have been organized by the department. The next international workshop on Cytopathology is scheduled to be conducted in September,2006 by a Professor from the U.K.

(B) Examinations

The department of examinations conducts all the examinations of the College. However the practical and viva voce sections ofthe D.C.P.S in clinical pathology and the F.C.P.S-II, exams in Histopathology, Haematology, Microbiology and Chemical Pathology are generally held in the Pathology department. Examiners are invited from all over Pakistan as well as fromU.K and other countries.

(C) Accreditation programme

The department takes part in the programme of onsite inspections and evaluation of institutions applying for accreditations by the C.P.S.P for the purpose of training candidates in diplomas and Fellowships of the College.

Vision for the Future

Improving standard of practice and education of Pathology all over Pakistan

The strategy devised to achieve this goal has two arms

(a). Continuousdevelopmentof the department of Pathology at the C.P.S.P.
(b). Co-operation and collaboration with all pathologists and pathology departments all over Pakistan as well as with centres of
      excellence abroad. Thirteen (13) regional centres of the C.P.S.P spread through out the Country will provide the
      infrastructure to achieve the goal.
