As part of the College of Medicine’s commitment to preparing doctors with comprehensive field skills and promoting their participation in community service, our students participate in a practical training programme at primary healthcare centres as part of the Health and Disease in Society course, under the supervision of the Head of the Family and Community Medicine Department, Dr. Taqi Muhammad Jawad Tahir, and in collaboration with the Public Health Department at the Wasit Health Directorate. Dr. Taqi Muhammad Jawad Tahir, in cooperation with the Public Health Department at the Wasit Health Directorate, where they learn first-hand about the mechanisms of providing basic health services, immunisation programmes, maternal and child health, chronic disease follow-up, and health awareness activities in the community.
This training aims to:
