The Health Services Academy (HSA) in Islamabad has opened admissions to its Postgraduate Diploma in Health Research for healthcare professionals and graduates from related fields who want stronger research and academic skills.
The academy said the programme runs over two semesters and will be taught in a hybrid mode, so participants can join both online and face-to-face sessions. That mix is aimed at working clinicians and other graduates who need flexibility alongside structured classroom contact.
Who can apply and what the course covers
Eligible candidates include graduates of MBBS, BDS, Allied Health Sciences, BS Nursing, Social Sciences and other relevant disciplines. In plain terms, doctors, dentists, nurses, allied health workers and social science graduates with a suitable background can seek a place on the health research diploma.
HSA said the diploma is designed to give participants advanced research skills. That includes learning how to design and carry out educational research, improve scholarly writing, and share results so that findings reach wider academic and professional audiences.
Key dates for registration and classes
Applicants must complete registration and fee submission by 7 November 2026. Classes are scheduled to begin on 11 November 2026. Anyone interested therefore has only a short window between the announcement and the fee deadline before teaching starts.
HSA did not publish fee amounts, seat numbers or detailed entry-test requirements in the material available for this report. Prospective students should confirm those details directly with the academy before paying.
What applicants should do next
Healthcare workers and graduates who meet the listed degree criteria and want formal training in research methods have a clear next step: finish registration and pay fees by the 7 November deadline if they intend to join the November intake. The hybrid Postgraduate Diploma in Health Research is framed as a skills boost for people already in, or entering, health and related fields rather than as a general undergraduate course.
