Towards Academic Culture in Pakistan: Role of Medical Conference and How Challenging it is to Survive with Evolving Technology Advancement
Abstract
For years, scientific medical conferences have been the
pillar of academic culture development worldwide. In
Pakistan as well medical conferences no doubt have
become the mainstay of universities, professional
institutions, professional associations, and government
statutory bodies of higher learning. In the past decade
we have seen a dramatic shift in how Conference is
positioned within institutions. This may be attributed to
the Higher Education Commission(HEC) Pakistan1
which places strong value to conferences and supports
institutions, in particular young researchers to share
their results and eventually publish those studies in peerreviewed
journals.Moreover, HEC ranks universities
higher on organizing conferences for Pakistani scientists
as well as inviting research scholars of international
repute
