It is with great honor and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the Khyber Medical College International Research Conference (KMC-IRC) 2025, to be held on October 4, 2025. This year’s theme, “Inspiration to Application: The Impact of Local Research,” reflects our collective commitment to advancing a culture of research that begins at the grassroots level and translates into meaningful change in clinical practice, healthcare delivery, and community well-being.
KMC-IRC has become a unique platform for medical students, postgraduate trainees, and faculty to share their innovations and scholarly work alongside distinguished national and international experts. Our mission is to nurture a generation of healthcare professionals who not only value evidence-based medicine but also actively contribute to its growth through locally driven, globally relevant research.
As Chief Organizer, I take pride in the dedication of our Organizing and Scientific Committees, as well as the energy of our young researchers, whose participation ensures that this conference is not just an event but a movement towards academic excellence. Together, we aim to transform inspiration into application—ensuring that research conducted at KMC and beyond becomes a catalyst for policy, practice, and innovation in Pakistan’s healthcare system.
I warmly invite you all to participate in KMC-IRC 2025, contribute to its vibrant discourse, and become part of this journey where local research finds its rightful place in shaping the future of healthcare.
