Becoming a doctor is an arduous task. This journey of becoming a doctor from a student is guided by the medical curriculum, which is defined by Kern as an 1 educational experience. Curriculum has various components comprising of mission and outcomes, educational strategy and content, teaching and learning methods, assessment, student support, faculty development, program evaluation and 2 governance. One of the main stake holders of the curriculum are students. In advanced countries, students have been empowered to make decisions 3 regarding their curricula. However, in authors observation, Pakistani medical students have minimal or no input in designing their curriculum. Student empowerment is defined as 'any attitudinal, structural, and cultural activity, process or outcome where students of any age gain the ability, authority and agency to make decisions and implement changes in their own schools, learning and education, and in the education of other people, including fellow students of any age and adults 4 throughout education. Student involvement in medical curriculum has been stressed by World Federation for Medical Education (WFME), Liaison Committee for Medical Education 5 6 (LCME) and ASPIRE excellence initiatives. WFME has designed quality standards for basic medical education, which describe the basic standard for attainment of student engagement as “The medical school must have a policy on student representation and appropriate participation in the design, management and evaluation of the curriculum, and 7 in other matters relevant to students”.
