<p>Dow Medical College is an excellent choice esp. for foreigners who study medicine abroad but want to practice in the U.S. Located in Karachi, you will not have any problems to and from the airport, as I reckon you live in the United States. In fact, I believe Dow even has an association of Pakistani trained doctors practicing here in the U.S. called “APPNA.” You might want to check out their website as well. Ayub Medical College in Abbottabad also hosts a great environment for studying medicine. The weather is usually pleasent year round, but severely cold in the winter. (Note the higher elevation.) I know someone who went to Ayub and is a dentist in Houston.<br>
Army Medical College, Rawalpindi is also a excellent option, however I believe foreign applicants have to take an exam in mid fall. Also the seats at AMC are more competitive than at the other govt. medical schools. Although Govt. medical schools are looked upon greatly, private medical schools carry the stigma of “rich academically incompetent kids who could not get into a govt. medical school.” Although this is not the case most of the time, this stigma does exists and many applicants be it foreign or native opt for govt. medical seats. If rejected private is always the next more costly resort. Since the costs of a medical education in Pakistan through a private medical school is costly, their resources however be it through air conditioning, food, or medical equipment are readily available. Note: Govt. medical colleges do not carry the amenities you see here i.e. airconditioning. Usually in a dorm situation you are paired with another foreigner, and provided with “acceptable” living arrangements. As far as your question concerning Nuerology, I am quite sure in the Pakistan Medical System they do not go on the basis of completing a major. While in medical school, you will be exposed from all the departments of medicine from Pediatrics, Gyn, Neurology etc. < this will take place usually in your 3 or 4th year. I recommend that you check out <a href=“http://www.pmdc.org.pk/[/url]”>http://www.pmdc.org.pk/</a> for a list of recognized medical school (private or public) and also their entire M.B.B.S. (M.D. equivalent) curriculum is available online as well. BTW: Opt for colleges in major cities i.e. Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi…rather than small cities. You will find resources to be more readily available in these areas i.e. clean water (we can only wish), hospitals, airports etc.</p>
