ISLAMABAD — The University of Health Sciences (UHS) has introduced PRIME, a province-wide digital platform that will integrate the monitoring of medical education, clinical training and professional competency assessments across Punjab. Provincial Minister for Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Khawaja Salman Rafique inaugurated the system at UHS.
Initially, PRIME will serve postgraduate medical and dental programs. Its first phase will cover approximately 3,300 MS, MD and MDS trainees at 33 training institutions across Punjab. UHS will also register around 1,100 supervisors on the portal. The system will replace paper logbooks with digital records.
These will document clinical cases, procedures, attendance, rotations, research work and workplace-based assessments. Supervisors will verify trainees’ clinical and academic work, share feedback and track their development. Meanwhile, institutional dashboards will allow UHS to assess training standards and identify shortcomings.
