KARACHI: Fatima Jinnah Dental College (FJDC) continues to position itself as a leader in modern dental education by hosting an advanced simulation-based dental education workshop for its faculty recently. Organized by the professional development centre (PDC) in collaboration with the department of medical education (DME), the session brought together senior and junior faculty members from the clinical campus for a comprehensive learning experience rooted in global best practices.
Led by Dr. Saima Ali, MBBS, FCPS, MHPE, PHD (HPE)—a respected authority in simulation training—the workshop focused on the evolving role of simulation, contemporary educational methodologies, and the systemic challenges shaping medical and dental training in Pakistan.

The presence of the chief executive officer, principal, and faculty from clinical and non-clinical departments underscored the college’s strong culture of collaboration and academic unity. The workshop was meticulously coordinated by Dr. Talal Bin Taheer (Head, DME) and Dr. Faryal Abdullah, whose leadership contributed to a seamless and impactful academic experience.
