Pediatric Cardiology Fellowships in Pakistan: 4 Recorded Programs

The2024 Punjab second-fellowship policy describes two to three years depending on the degree-awarding institution, with initial one-year appointment and performance-dependent annual extension. An exact duration for this hospital’s FCPS discipline is not established.

The17May2024 Punjab second-fellowship policy lists FCPS Paediatrics as the prior specialty for this paediatric second-fellowship discipline. Its general pre-qualifications require a PM&DC-recognised LevelIII qualification and age below50 at the submission deadline. These are dated provincial policy terms, not a confirmed current intake.

Under the2024 Punjab policy, eligible postgraduate trainees receive the government-prescribed stipend; in-service deputationists receive admissible pay/allowances under applicable rules. Support is limited to the degree-awarding institution’s required two/three-year training period. No current amount or individual award is established.

The university-wide basic entry criterion is completion of a full residency in the parent specialty. The page says most fellowship programs require FCPS in that parent specialty; the specific program’s complete selection criteria are separate.

The fellow salary page lists monthly amounts of Rs 165,000 (Fellow I), Rs 176,000 (Fellow II) and Rs 187,000 (Fellow III). The page does not state an effective year or the applicant’s appointment level.

CPSP lists this pediatric pathway under Second Fellowship. This national specialty listing is not a named hospital placement or a dated open recruitment; the page’s generic four-to-five-year FCPS statement does not establish this second fellowship’s duration.
