    Abstract Background: Multiple factors influence career selection for medical students. In developed countries, training in family medicine is essential to start practice as a general practitioner. In Pakistan, this specialty was introduced by College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan in 90's but it has not been yet institutionalized. This study was conducted to identify the factors that influence students' choice for Family medicine as a specialty.
    Methods: It was a sequential (quantitative first) mix method study which was conducted in two medical colleges (one public sector and other private) of Faisalabad from April to June 2014. In first phase students' career choices were determined in a sample of 252 students. In second phase 12 students were selected randomly for interviews; six students who selected family medicine as a specialty and six students who had selected some other specialty. In depth interviews and focused group discussion were used to explore the factors that influenced them for selecting the respective specialty.
    Results: Major factor for not selecting family medicine was lack of awareness about the scope of specialty. Other factors included personal interest, feasibility and family influence.
    Conclusions: Lack of awareness and scope of family medicine is the predominant factor in influencing students for choosing family medicine as a career. Career counselling, role modelling and exposure to this specialty during clinical years can play an important role in promotion of this field.

    Abstract Objectives: Rapid innovations in medical science have necessitated the development of an advanced medical curriculum. Taking a step towards this, a temporal integrated system and clinic-pathological conferences themes were introduced in a public sector medical university for fourth year MBBS. This study aims to assess students' perceptions regarding this change.
    Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in a public sector medical university from May 2019 to April 2020. A 17 item pre-validated questionnaire was distributed among all students twice, firstly after completion of first module and then again at the end of the academic year. Results were analyzed using SPSS 21.
    Results: There were 265 and 176 participants in the first and second phase of the study respectively. Majority of the students agreed that it was easier to study a topic when temporally integrated. Most commonly reported advantage was better understanding and concept of the theme under study. Suggestions included revision of the schedule regarding allocation of time for different topics and implementation of this curriculum from first year MBBS.
    Conclusion: A small step was taken to make improvements in an old traditional method. Students are adapting to this change as they responded positively to various aspects of this methodology. Continuous feedback, evaluation and amendments will help to improve its effectiveness.

    Abstract Background: Foot complications are a common problem among the diabetic population globally. Proper preventive education by health care providers should be provided to the diabetic population. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of diabetic patients regarding foot care.
    Methods: This study was carried out in the medicine outdoor patient department of Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. A total sample of 150 diabetic patients was taken. Sampling was done through a non-probability convenient sampling technique. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.
    Results: The mean age of the respondents was 52.49 ± 11.87 years. Most of the patients had moderate knowledge and also practiced a moderate level of foot care. 32.7% of the patients had good knowledge, 51.3% had moderate knowledge, and 16.0% had poor knowledge regarding foot care. 63.3% of the patients had moderate practice; 24.5%, poor practice; and 12.2%, good practice. Patients belonging to urban areas scored better on both knowledge and practice scales. A significant statistical association of education with knowledge (P = 0.012) and practice (P = 0.008) regarding foot care was found. The patients compliant with drug therapy also observed better foot care practices.
    Conclusion: Education had a significant role in positively influencing the behavior of the patients. There was found a gap between knowledge and practice level of patients. Hence patients should be actively engaged in their health care plan with more emphasis on changing their behavior.
