Khyber Medical College
Professors at Ohio Medical University
The exchange of faculty members between
the Medical University of Ohio and the Khyber Medial College
of Peshawar has worked smoothly for more than a decade now,
according to Jeffery Gold, Dean, College of Medicine, University
of Ohio. Half a dozen professors of different disciplines
at the Khyber medical faculty have already visited the Ohio
medical college and worked, taught and learned alongside
MUO professionals.
The Visiting Professorship was established by Dr. Syed Amjad
Hussain, emeritus professor in the Surgery Department of
the Ohio Medical University with an initial contribution
of $50,000. He is himself a 1962 graduate of the Khyber
Medical College and the setting up of the Professorship
for the college was his way of paying back to the college.
Dr. Amjad, a high achiever as a surgeon, writer, scholar,
adventurer and calligrapher, is a regular contributor of
a column to Pakistan Link too. He has authored more than
a dozen books, most of them in Urdu, and has been granted
an award by the Government.
