In a groundbreaking shift in Pakistan’s medical education system, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now officially part of MBBS and Nursing studies of the Aga Khan University’s Medical College. For the first time, future doctors and nurses will not only study anatomy and surgery but also master the power of AI to treat patients. A five-year AI course has been developed, designed to train medical students in cutting-edge tools already transforming healthcare worldwide. From AI-assisted diagnosis and robotic surgeries to patient monitoring and digital health analytics, Pakistani medical students are about to step into a new era of medicine. Professor Karim Damji, Dean of Aga Khan University’s Medical College, said this course will prepare doctors for the future: “AI in medicine is no longer optional, it’s essential. This curriculum will ensure our students are ready for the ethical and advanced use of AI in patient care,” he said.
