Institutions who have received three ASPIRE-to-Excellence awards are given the Stellar Award. In 2013 and 2022, respectively, AKU won prizes for outstanding assessment and student participation, as well as curriculum development. AKU received the Stellar Award certificate this year at the AMEE 2023 conference since it has won three awards in a row with attendees from all over the world. These honors, which were established in 2013, go above the usual accrediting procedure and recognize top-tier educational performance.
Over 50 global institutions have received ASPIRE-to-Excellence award(s), but AKU is only the third ever to get the Stellar Award for receiving recognition across three or more categories and the only one from Asia. The other two are from USA and UK.

“This is indeed a moment of pride for Pakistan and its academic community,” said Dr Adil Haider, Dean of AKU Medical College. He lauded the faculty and staff for ‘their outstanding contributions in maintaining the highest academic quality’.
