Punjab Medical College's most newest, innovative and informative society SCOPE has organized a successful symposium under the dynamic patron ship of Prof. Dr. Riaz Hussain Dab on 14^th may 2010 in the PMC auditorium. Rationale of arranging this symposium was to create awareness and endow the students with information as regards professional education after M.B;B.S and B.D.S. It is hoped that the symposium will be of assistance in guiding students choose an appropriate field for themselves.

The symposium commenced with the recitation of Holy Quran and Naat. It was followed by a miraculous inauguration of SCOPE by final year. The synchronized display of investiture was beyond conviction and was successful in grabbing the attention of the whole auditorium. Then began the remarkable succession of career counselling and skits to provide counselling encroached by the swathe of entertainment. First the Head of surgery department Prof. Dr. Riaz Hussain Dab was invited on stage to pour his knowledge on the field of surgery and guide us in choosing the right career. Then Professor Dr.Sajid sheikh was called on stage to present his idea of field counselling that was responded well by the whole audience. He had a way to work the students and left a great notion on the students about surgery. Professor Dr. Ashraf  gave an imposing detail about his experience and again gave points that would assist the students to make biochemistry on roll of their preferred specialties.

 It was followed by a startling skit that portrayed the importance and scope for female surgeons in Pakistan that was well admired by the spectators. Presentation on Radiology was given by Prof. Dr.Mehdi Raza that really motivated the students to choose radiology as a specialty. It was followed by an awe-inspiring video by final year. Each scene roared humour and uplifted the whole environment. It was enjoyed by the viewers due the alluring humour and a moral that is usually ignored by the people i.e. to do justice with your profession. Head of E.N.T department Prof. Dr. Mohammad Ali Tirmizey gave an astounding presentation on E.N.T that was esteemed by everyone. He gracefully revealed all the good points and the drawbacks of E.N.T. This honest presentation helped the confused students to make their mind about the vocation they want to adapt and make E.N.T a profession that would help contour their future. A skit was well carried out by the students on the relevant topic about a father that wanted his son to be an E.N.T specialist despite his passion for cardiology but at the end the father eventually learns that a bittergord can never taste good no matter how much it is spiced.

 Urology was given importance by the head of Urology department Prof. Dr. Zahid Iqbal that gave a clear picture of the scope of urology in today’s world. Then Plastic surgeon Prof.Dr. Zahid Nagra gave an extraordinary presentation on plastic surgery that gathered enthusiasm of the already engrossed students. Another well thought out skit was performed by the scope members that gave a comical idea of how plastic surgery can change life of a person and how it can fabricate self-confidence in the patients that have suffered a long dark period of inferiority complex. Following it was an instigating presentation about B.D.S by Prof.Dr.Badar n Dr.Asif that helped the B.D.S students boost up their confidence about their choice of profession. Finally a few words by the supervisor Dr. Mussarat-ul-hussain were delivered. The event ended by scope website launching. Everyone is welcome to join it by just logging onto WWW.SCOPEPMC.COM.
