KARACHI: Liaquat College of Medicine and Dentistry (LCMD) is poised to host a prestigious event tomorrow, January 10, 2026, with the Inauguration Ceremony of the CPSP IMECon-26 Pre-Conference Workshop. This marks a significant moment in Pakistan’s medical education landscape, bringing together prominent political figures, medical leaders, and educational professionals to highlight the importance of simulation-based education in healthcare training.

Headlining the event will be Senator Sarmad Ali, one of Pakistan’s leading media moguls and policy influencers. His presence as a key speaker underscores the evolving role of public policy and media in shaping the future of healthcare education in the country. His voice will bring vital cross-sector dialogue to the event, emphasizing the need for innovation in medical training.

Joining Senator Sarmad Ali is Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, the Federal Minister for Education, who will attend as the Chief Guest. His involvement in the ceremony reflects the government’s deep commitment to modernizing Pakistan’s healthcare education system, particularly through the adoption of new technologies and teaching methods, such as simulation-based learning.

Adding academic authority to the event is Prof. Dr. Khalid Masood Gondal, the President of the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP). His extensive work in advancing postgraduate medical education in Pakistan places him at the forefront of efforts to improve clinical education standards.

Also in attendance will be Senator Samina Mumtaz Zehri, who is expected to offer her support for this initiative, demonstrating the importance of parliamentary engagement in improving healthcare education and building institutional capacity.

The workshop will focus on simulation-based education as a powerful tool for enhancing clinical competence, patient safety, and assessment in medical training. The session will offer insights into the different types of simulations, their practical application, and how educators can integrate clinical scenarios into their teaching practices.

As the pre-conference event sets the stage for the larger IMECon-26, it underscores a growing national commitment to advancing healthcare education through collaboration, innovation, and leadership.
