Study Design: Qualitative narrative analytical study. Place and Duration of Study: December 2015 to May 2016 was carried out including faculty from public, private and Armed Forces Hospitals in Pakistan. Material and Methods: A narrative inquiry approach was used with in-depth interviews of nine maxillofacial surgeons involved in teaching and clinical work in tertiary care hospitals of public, private and armed forces hospitals. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and data cleansing was done. Qualitative narrative analysis of interviews was done manually.
