Awareness of Campus Rules

Sahiwal Medical College (SLMC) is very particular about the comfort and safety of all its staff and students and as such has established rules of conduct for all students. One must stay aware of these rules and abide by them to avoid any unnecessary procedures that may cost one valuable time. Failure to comply may result in anything from a warning to dismissal from the university. Criminal offenses are dealt with by the concerned authority.

Stress Management

Self-Assessment: “Gnōthi seauton” is an ancient Greek proverb more commonly recognized by its English translation “Know Thyself.” The phrase was further expounded on by Socrates who taught that:

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”

In psychology and philosophy, knowing oneself is the foundation upon which one expands and improves oneself internally to achieve true happiness, but in professional environment it can be implemented to improve one’s performance. Self-assessment will not only assist in identifying where one is falling behind and why (thereby laying the groundwork on which to recover), but a more thorough evaluation of oneself will reveal hidden strengths (e.g. a unique learning style) to benefit from and weaknesses (perhaps an irrational fear of failure holding one back from achieving full potential) to address.

Time Management

Adjusting – or rather – difficulty in adjusting to university life is known to hinder the progress of even the hardest working students, and most of the difficulty in adjusting can be attributed to mismanagement of time. Time management is a critical skill to have in a professional environment and is the gateway to an ideal work-life balance. Pupils are advised to pay close attention to their daily schedules and even maintain bullet journals to assist in organizing their daily commitments in such a way that they can make time for rest and recreational activities.

Develop Interpersonal Relationships

Reach out to faculty members, seniors and even one’s own batch mates. Not only will this prove useful if and when one is forced to miss lectures but in the future when in the process of establishing one’s career, close connections with recognized personalities in ones preferred field will make the process much easier.
