6 From the Office of the Chairman It is a great concern to every parent in our country to find out perfect education for their sons and daughters after passing Higher Secondary Certificate Examination. The blaze of excellent result soon becomes gloomed when they face tremendous difficulties for admitting their children in a desired subject of an appropriate institution. Students are also confused about selecting appropriate subject for their undergraduate course. The issue of career building, job security, liking, disliking make everybody so perplexed that almost all science students have to select an universal subject at HSC level that suits almost every possible educational routes that can pave the entry ways to Medical, Engineering, IT, Agriculture, Business, General Universities and many more. And there remains the real dilemma. This booklet has attempted to rescue out everybody concerned from that perplexity. The guideline may help them to realize whether the noble profession "Medicine" fits the candidate best or not. This prospectus has also furnished information in a limited sphere about 'Popular Medical College'- the most prestigious project of 'Popular Group' to help the concerned to decide why to select this institution as their natural choice. Hope this small initiative will help the concerned who are looking for Medicine as profession in real sense. Finally we want to assure that the governing body of this institute will not govern rather will associate as a family member to contribute the best. Thanking all. Dr. Md. Mostafizur Rahman Chairman, Governing Body Popular Medical College. 01

7 From the desk of the Principal Popular Medical College, the iconic concern of the "Popular Group" was established in 2010 with a vision to develop a centre of excellence for medical education in the country. To achieve this vision we started our mission by recruiting the adequate number of highly qualified and experienced teaching staff to make an amazing team of teachers to combat the challenge of building up an institution of repute. Likewise the recruited support service personnel are kind, sympathetic, helpful, cheerful and caring to the students. The college is presently housed in its campus at Dhanmondi with hostel facilities nearby. The college has developed suitable facilities for curricular, co-curricular and extra curricular activities with the untiring missionary effort of the faculties. In near future, the college will move to a larger campus, within the city, not far away from the present one and will be able to provide further expansion of the facilities. It is truly exciting and humbling to be a part of such a dynamic institution that prides itself as a place where students truly are at the heart of all we do. We shall be delighted to have you as a member of our enrollment which consists of promising young stars who exhibit high personal values, uphold moral values and are passionate and strongly committed to become "doctors with a difference". I believe it is possible when love for this noble profession is created by an insight force of oneself and not driven by any other force of compulsion. We are committed to choose the best from the applicants, guide and nurture them with the whole hearted support of the parents/guardians over the next five years to prepare them to be a "global doctor and global citizen" with human values and capable "to take the charge of the future". Serving as medical teacher for decades my greatest satisfaction lies in nurturing the next generation of medical professionals / doctors who make themselves more effective at saving lives than us. It is only possible when one does not limit his challenge rather he challenges his limits. May Allah bless us all. Prof. T. I. M. Abdullah-Al-Faruq Principal & Professor of Surgery Popular Medical College 03
