The College of Medicine at Qassim University has achieved a new scientific achievement by obtaining the first place in the 2016 Saudi Commission for Health Specialties exams for practicing the medical profession, which is an extension of previous achievements achieved by the college in previous years during which it obtained advanced positions in the Commission's exams.
For his part, Prof. Dr. Hani bin Abdullah Al-Shubaili, Dean of the College, expressed his happiness with this achievement, which reflects the keenness of the college staff to raise the quality of education in the college, as well as the keenness of male and female students to excel and be creative in this profession, praising the support and care of the university administration represented by Prof. Abdul Rahman bin Hamad Al-Dawood, the university president, who stands behind these achievements and successes with his continuous support and continuous follow-up of the educational process at the university.
It is worth noting that the college obtained international accreditation according to the standards of the World Federation for Medical Education in 2013, followed by national accreditation from the Education Evaluation Authority - Higher Education Sector - in 2016, becoming the first medical college in the Kingdom to achieve both national and international accreditation. Earlier this year 2017, the college obtained recognition from the California State Medical Board, qualifying its graduates to compete for admission to medical fellowship training in the state's universities, as another achievement added to the college's record of achievements.
It is worth mentioning that the College of Medicine at Qassim University was established in 1421 A.H. It is the first medical college in the Kingdom to adopt the method of medical education based on solving medical dilemmas, whose outputs proved its effectiveness in the field of medical education, which encouraged many medical colleges in the Kingdom to adopt this type of education and benefit from its experience by applying the same educational approach.
