Annual Research Day of Anatomy 2016

The Annual Research day of Anatomy was conducted by faculty and as well as MPhil students of Anatomy at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Khyber Medical University. The aim was to,

• Encourage students to develop an analytical and critical view of research
• Impart the importance of research to newly inducted students
• Enable networking with invited guests from other departments

These are clearly linked to the University’s strategic aim of:

• Creating a research, knowledge sharing and enhancement culture, to ensure that experience, good practice and know how are capitalised within and across faculties.

A brief overview of all academic and research activities conducted in Anatomy at IBMS was presented with emphasis on professionalism as well as timely management of research projects. The students presented their posters based on a critical analysis of five research papers based on anatomic variations in the Abdomen and pelvis. This work is a part of their internal assessments and helps students develop an inquisitive mind and then guide it in developing presentable material. Best poster was awarded to Dr Huma Gul.
