BDS Programme Outcomes

Exit Curricular Outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. They relate to the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the programme. At CMH Lahore Medical College & Institute of Dentistry (CMH LMC & IOD), our goal is to train every graduating student in demonstrating the requisite characteristics and skills needed for the 21st-century dental graduate. Exit curricular outcomes are directly linked to the list of competencies and enabling outcomes of each subject being taught over a span of 4 years in BDS program.
