A Program for excellence in Education and Research in Pakistan.
The Medical Education, Research, International training and transfer of Technology (MERIT) was established in 2007 to complement and enhance Health care in Pakistan through enhancing education and Research in Pakistan. MERIT committee consists of 12 Sub committees with Total 60 members in the committee and more than 200 academic faculties in our network. We partner with over 35 institutions and organizations in Pakistan and have delivered over 300 webinars with currently 8 different courses hosted on APPNA Academy launched in 2020. We issued 137 hours of CME in 2020 and have over 4000 registered physicians and students in Pakistan for our programs.
APPNA MERIT is launching a collaborative Blended Learning program targeted towards General Practitioners in Pakistan to provide an overview of Speciality topics in a structured fashion with active learning. The program will build upon ongoing foundational programs for GPs in Pakistan by giving higher level education on specialty medicine. The program will try to imitate specialty rotations during Family Medicine residency where a trainee is exposed to teaching and practice in various fields to enhance their primary care practice.

APPNA Organization have grown tremendously over the last 20 years. We have a lot of really good experts traveling to Pakistan and would love to have opportunity to teach while there but they are extremely busy and have a very hectic schedule and they don't know where to start. Organizing a visiting lecture could become so complicated in Pakistan that it's a complete turn off.
