Initially the will be total 50 students who will be admitted into Federal Medical and Dental College Islamabad. Federal Medical College is affiliated with the country’s premier Quaid-i-Azam University and having the city’s premier Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences as attached teaching hospital.
Originally, it was planned that PIMS would house the college until its premises in the National Institute of Health, Chak Shahzad got ready. However, the plan was later dropped after the hospital administration expressed inability to provide rooms for students to have lectures in.
Now, according to the official, the college is located on the NIH premises from where students will be taken to PIMS by buses for training.

In April this year, Pakistan Medical and Dental Council, the regulator of medical and dental educational institutions in the country, recognised the college and gave the mandatory green light to admissions of 50 MBBS students for this year. The number of seats, including those of BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), will later be enhanced to 200 a year.
