No house jobs for new medical graduates in hospitals

Punjab government ban on the students of private medical colleges to get house jobs and internships in government sectorIslamabad, Jan 20: Owing to the ban imposed on the students of private medical and dental colleges regarding house jobs, the new graduates are finding it difficult to get house jobs and internships in government sector.
The government of Punjab had imposed a ban on the students of private medical colleges, both local and foreign, from acquiring training in the governmental hospitals in the form of house jobs and internships. The decision was followed by protests and demonstrations by the medical students and doctors across the province, last month.
After the announcement of MBBS and BDS results by the University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore, hundreds of medical and dentistry students that have graduated from numerous private colleges across Punjab, are unable to get house jobs or even internships in government sector.
"Compared to the private sector, the government sector offers enormous opportunities for professional training due to its broader set-up, massive resources and heavy turnout of patients. Banning private medical students to avail the expertise offered in government sector would deprive them of tremendous learning opportunities," said some newly graduated students.
