THE COLLEGE
The College was established in 1962 through anordinance of the Federal Government. The objectives/functions of the College include promoting specialistpractice of Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecologyand other specialties by securing improvement ofteaching and training, arranging postgraduate medical,surgical and other specialists training, holding andconducting examinations for awarding postgraduatedegrees of the College, admission to the Fellowship ofthe College, and to provide for research.
Since its inception, the College has taken great strides inthe direction of improving postgraduate medical anddental education in Pakistan. Structured trainingprograms along with criteria for accrediatation of traininginstitutions, and for the appointment of supervisors andexaminers have now been developed. The format ofexaminations has evolved over the years to achieveobjective and reliable methods of assessment. Therecognition of the standards of College qualificationsnationally and internationally, has enormously increasedthe number of trainees, and consequently the number oftraining institutions and the supervisors. This increasingdemand coupled with advancement in medical scienceshas gradually increased the number of fellowshipdisciplines to fifty three and of membership to eighteen.
The average number of candidates taking CPSPexaminations each year is over 22,500. The Collegeconducts examinations for FCPS I (11 disciplines), IMM,FCPS II (53 disciplines), MCPS (18 disciplines) andDCPS (2 non-clinical disciplines).
To coordinate the training and examination, and to
provide assistance to the candidates undergoing training
at places other than Karachi; College has established 12
Regional Centers and five Provincial Headquarter
Centres in the country. The five Provincial Headquarter
Centers in addition to organizing the capacity building
workshops/short courses also have facilities of libraries
and I.T.
It is important to note that in the overall scenario of
health care delivery service, out of the total functioning
and registered health care specialists in the country,
over 85% have been provided by the CPSP. The College
strives to continue its efforts in making its courses and
training programs evidence and need based so as to
meet international standards as well as to cater to the
specialist healthcare needs not only for this country but
also for the entire region.

INTRODUCTION
The College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan has
always designed its postgraduate training programs
keeping in consideration the national and international
needs. In Pakistan attempts have been made to improve
the health status of the people through availability of
trained personnel, adequate supply of medicines and
establishment of greater number of health facilities.
However, much more needs to be done in this respect.
The main health related problems facing Pakistan are
preventable communicable and non-communicable
diseases, severe malnutrition and high incidence of birth
resulting in high infant and maternal mortality. It is
evident from the dismal health related statistics that
efforts should be directed at improving healthcare
facilities at the primary and secondary care levels. A
need was therefore felt to train a group of mid level
specialists who can provide quality services at these
centers. The curriculum and training for MCPS have
been developed to achieve this objective.
This booklet provides information to the trainees and
supervisors regarding training requirements and
assessment strategy for the MCPS in
Diagnostic Radiology.
