Chairman, Board of Trustees
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Businessmen Hospital Trust, I consider it my privilege to extend a warm welcome to all the ‘Prospective’ students here at Shalamar Medical & Dental College.
The BHT came into existence some four decades ago to create a unique opportunity in providing healthcare services and medical education to the community.
Shalamar Hospital (SH) was conceived in 1974 as a vision of a few God fearing people to serve the underprivileged. For more than 38 years, the hospital and its sister institutions have been pioneers in professional health education. The goal is to adapt and change in order to better meet the needs of this rapidly changing world.
SIHS with all its components has within a short span of time come at the forefront of healthcare education by crafting a mold which has become a role model for other medical institutes. We target our students to become responsible members of the society who will contribute to the development of the country.
Shalamar Medical & Dental College (SMDC) has a theme that most clearly stands out as one of innovation. Here, we offer modern educational program methodologies, through our dynamic faculty that differentiates us from any other medical institute in the country.
The College has an exciting and vibrant environment, a place where aspiration, ambition and the zeal of intellectual exploration come together. The endeavor is to develop young leaders in healthcare with the ability to make positive contribution to society. A value-based approach is offered to our students with a focus on four pillars: leadership, academics, objective training, and compassion. Thus, our students develop a moral obligation to offer assistance by giving back to their families and the community at large. We believe that SMDC will provide your ward with opportunities to compete in an increasingly global society. May this become an experience to be recalled with much joy and nostalgia in the years to come!
I am very proud to be a part of this community of extraordinary students and faculty. I invite you to learn more about us, and explore ways to join us.
Shalamar Medical & Dental College is equipped with a system that supports quality education, timely access to vital health care and encourages prevention that strives to end the discredit of health.

I welcome you to the Shalamar Medical &Dental College, Lahore with immense pride. The College was established in 2010 and was named due to its proximity to Shalamar Gardens.
It is an honour and a privilege to be the Principal of an institute that stands for excellence and persistently sets the highest standards of medical education.
SMDC aspires to give this land many leaders in diverse fields of medicinal sciences. Catering to more than 700 students, SMDC is considered amongst the best and most sought after colleges in the city of Lahore or I would say in the Punjab province.
As pioneers in the field of medical education, our students are provided with quality training that fosters creativity and passion thus equipping them with skills, confidence and a positive approach towards their profession with special emphasis on versatile personality development.
The progress of an Institute depends mainly on performance of the students in academics, sports and cultural activities along with maintaining high values and ethics. Therefore, the College encourages the students to participate in various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. SMDC is also well-known for its students achieving honours and awards in the professional examinations held by the University of Health Sciences (UHS), Lahore.
Initially, the focus was on undergraduate teaching but in a short span of time it has been elevated to a post-graduate training institute in various disciplines by CPSP & UHS. The call of the time is to progress and not merely to move ahead. At SMDC we desire to offer our students a global exposure. The college facilitates Students Exchange Programmes in collaboration with GMEX (Global Educational Exchange in Medicine). This collaboration is a way forward for SMDC students to go abroad to renowned Universities/ Institutes for electives, further training & studies.
Our governing body comprises of Educationists, Industrialists, Businessman and achievers in their chosen fields. The management is highly supportive for the overall development of the students and faculty takes keen interest and stands behind any such endeavour and supports ‘innovations in healthcare’. Our Faculty is committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by sharing their knowledge and play the role of facilitators as well as role models to our students. The members of the non- teaching staff are highly dedicated with total commitment towards achievement of our mission and goals.
At SMDC, students and staff truly believe that nothing is impossible and that is the secret of the institute’s success. My good wishes to all.
Making students the center of everything we do at SMDC, our ultimate goal is to deliver and inculcate the best medical practices in order to produce competent and compassionate health professionals who discover better ways to fight disease.
