When you arrive your home, Pakistan, after getting your
Medical degree, you must be very happy that you have achieved your main goal. But the real life begins from here, many students think that they should get rest in their homes for few months, but this is not a good idea as you would lose your fresh skills while staying away from the medical environment.
You should check for the date of upcoming PMDC (Pakistan Medical & Dental Council) examination, and if its few months later, you should try to join any hospital for internship/observership/clinical attachment. This will help to build your clinical knowledge and skills. If the exam is just a month or so away, just prepare for the exam by revising your university lectures or any other helpful material, because one month isn't enough to revise the whole books. You just need the points to be revised, as the exam is objective type and it includes only MCQs. You will know the pattern of exam while you go through this site.
