Pakistan’s postgraduate medical education runs through one institution more than any other — the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan. Since 1962, CPSP has held a position no other body in the country shares: the only postgraduate medical institution with a formal mandate to set and maintain standards of specialist practice across every discipline, from surgery and medicine to obstetrics and dentistry. A job advertisement from CPSP is not a hospital vacancy or a clinic posting. It is an opening inside the institution that the entire specialist medical community in Pakistan answers to.
The CPSP Jobs 2026 currently on offer are for a Course Coordinator based in Karachi, working specifically on Advanced and Basic Skills Courses in Trauma and Surgical Skills. This is a coordination role with real clinical depth — sitting at the point where training logistics and operating theatre knowledge meet. The person who fills it needs to understand how an OT actually functions, not just how to manage a calendar. Running skills courses for postgraduate doctors and surgeons across Pakistan requires someone who can handle equipment, logistics, and the specific demands of a surgical training environment.
What stands out about this particular vacancy is how the eligibility has been structured. Three separate qualification pathways are open — a Bachelor in Allied Health Sciences, a Nursing Diploma with OT experience, or a Paramedic background with five years of Operation Theatre exposure. That breadth is intentional. CPSP is not hunting for a specific certificate — it wants someone who actually knows their way around a surgical training setup. That opens this role to a wider range of healthcare professionals than most institutional positions would.
About the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP)
CPSP came into existence in mid-1962 through an Act of Parliament, built along the lines of the Royal Colleges of England and Ireland. It remains the only postgraduate medical body in Pakistan carrying a legislative mandate to uphold the principles of medical practice, develop specialist training, and run postgraduate programs across hospitals nationwide.
The College awards Fellowships and Memberships across more than 78 medical disciplines — medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, pathology, radiology, anesthesia, psychiatry, and many more. Each year it conducts over 170 examinations, not just from its head office in Karachi but through regional offices in Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta, Hyderabad, Multan, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Bahawalpur, Nawabshah, Larkana, and Abbottabad — and internationally in Kathmandu and Riyadh.
The head office sits at 7th Central Street, DHA Phase II, Karachi — one of the more professionally run medical campuses in the country. For anyone working there, the environment is one where Pakistan’s entire specialist medical community passes through at some point in their careers. That kind of professional exposure is not something most employers can offer.

Eligibility Criteria
Qualification Pathways — Any One of the Following
CPSP Jobs 2026 for Course Coordinator accept three distinct qualification backgrounds. You only need to fulfill one:
Pathway 1 — Allied Health Sciences Graduate
Bachelor’s Degree in Allied Health Sciences with specialization in Surgical Technology, combined with minimum relevant experience in a surgical or clinical training environment.
Pathway 2 — Nursing Professional
Diploma in General Nursing with relevant hands-on experience specifically in OT (Operating Theatre), Emergency, and Surgical settings. Nursing professionals who have spent meaningful time assisting in surgical procedures and managing OT environments are well-suited for this role.
Pathway 3 — Paramedic with OT Experience
Paramedics with a minimum of 5 years of experience in Operation Theatre or Emergency settings. This pathway specifically recognizes the operational expertise of experienced paramedics whose daily work environment mirrors exactly what the Course Coordinator will be managing.
Additional Skills Required
Beyond the core qualification, CPSP specifically mentions two additional skill requirements for CPSP Jobs 2026:
- Computer proficiency — MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint presentations, and professional Email communication are all explicitly required. The Course Coordinator will be managing equipment records, course documentation, and likely communications with participants and faculty.
- Good writing and verbal communication skills — essential for coordinating with medical faculty, drafting course reports, and communicating with course participants who are postgraduate doctors and surgeons.
Important Working Conditions
- Candidate must be willing to work extra hours when course schedules demand it
- Candidate must be willing to travel out of station when courses are conducted at locations outside Karachi — CPSP runs training programs across Pakistan’s major cities
These two conditions are non-negotiable and are explicitly stated in the advertisement. If you are not available for travel or irregular hours linked to course schedules, this role is not the right fit regardless of your qualification.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
The Course Coordinator at CPSP will be responsible for the complete operational management of Advanced and Basic Skills Courses on Trauma and Surgical Skills. Based on the advertisement, core responsibilities include:
- Course coordination — managing the end-to-end scheduling and logistics of skills courses conducted by CPSP for postgraduate medical trainees
- Conduction support — being physically present during course delivery to ensure smooth running of all training sessions
- Equipment handling — managing, maintaining, and tracking all surgical skills training equipment used in courses — from simulation models and surgical instruments to course consumables
- Record keeping — maintaining accurate documentation of all course activities, participant records, equipment inventories, and course outcomes as required by CPSP’s academic standards

Why CPSP Jobs 2026 Are Worth Applying For
There is a particular kind of professional satisfaction in working within an institution whose output genuinely shapes the quality of medical care across a country. CPSP’s postgraduate training programs are what produce Pakistan’s specialist doctors — the surgeons, physicians, obstetricians, and anesthetists who staff teaching hospitals from Karachi to Peshawar. The Course Coordinator for trauma and surgical skills courses sits within that pipeline — helping create the training environment where future FCPS surgeons develop their foundational operative skills.
For allied health professionals, nurses, or paramedics who have spent years in the OT or emergency environment and are ready to move beyond a purely clinical role, CPSP Jobs 2026 offer an unusually meaningful transition. The experience of coordinating postgraduate medical skills courses adds institutional weight to a CV that clinical experience alone cannot replicate. CPSP employment is recognized across Pakistan’s healthcare sector — it signals professional credibility that carries value in every future career step.
The combination of institutional prestige, the variety of work that comes with managing courses across multiple cities, and the direct connection to Pakistan’s medical training ecosystem makes this more than just a coordination job. For the right candidate — healthcare background, operational experience, willingness to travel — this is a career-defining opportunity. The deadline of 27 July 2026 is close. Put your CV together today.
