Abstract
Providing quality medical education is pivotal to strengthening healthcare systems and ensuring the well-being of society. In Pakistan, particularly in Punjab, the most populous province, the rapid growth of private medical institutions has significantly contributed to meeting the increasing demand for healthcare professionals. However, this expansion has also raised critical concerns regarding equity, affordability, and educational quality. The present study aimed to explore the main challenges faced by private medical colleges in Punjab. A qualitative design was employed. The study population included teachers and principals from private medical and dental colleges across Punjab. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with five teachers and five principals. Qualitative data were thematically analyzed to extract recurring patterns and insights. Findings revealed governance and policy gaps in maintaining educational standards and ensuring equitable access. It concludes that while private medical colleges have addressed the shortage of medical professionals, immediate attention is required to revise outdated curricula and promote inclusivity to enhance the quality and accessibility of medical education in Punjab.
