Protocol for Holding
Short-term Courses For Student Groups of Iraqi Universities
Introduction
With regard to the
geographical situations and the capabilities of the province, specifically in
terms of medical education and treatment, it is crucial to use this and similar
opportunities, including tourism, health tourism, and student training, to
import currency into the country and improve the economy of the province.
Therefore, we must first conduct realistic needs assessments in neighboring
cities of Iraq, both in the Kurdish region and the south of the country. After
that, we can explain our abilities to meet the needs of these areas while
considering our country’s security, political, and cultural concerns and take
effective steps in this regard. According to previous needs assessments, one of
these weaknesses is training nurses and midwives and improving specialized
medical capabilities (e.g., eyes, ears, brain, and the nervous system) in
medical residents and students.
Initiation:
1. Conducting needs assessments in universities
and other medical centers, including the health office of the desired city
Method: Sending
experts and heads of departments to the desired cities to meet with heads of
departments of their universities and medical centers, carry out field surveys,
and sign contracts after determining the required points.
Evidently, the
international affairs department will be responsible for establishing
communication between similar educational groups and facilitating
meetings.
2. Announcing abilities and science and treatment
facilities of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences to the target
university
Method: through
communications made in previous travels for needs assessments and by using
communication tools such as email and social networks and inviting the team of
heads of departments of the target faculty or department to Kermanshah.

and the number of students from the target university:
The educational
courses will be held for two-four weeks, and a 30-seat bus will be used to
transfer individuals. There will also be one-three translators or guides on the
bus as well. Therefore, it is recommended that each group have a maximum number
of 27 members.

related department in the presence of the representative of the international
affairs department.

department will announce the outcome of the meeting to the vice chancellor for
education to receive the approval of the mentioned department and the requested
amount as education right.
8. Announcing
the outcome of the meeting to the board of directors of the university in
the form of a letter to receive approval and determine the final
cost.
9. In
case of disagreement of the board of directors, the faulty parts will be
removed.
10. The final result will
be announced to the target university over an official letter signed by the
international affairs manager.
Simultaneously,
information about accommodation, touristic travels inside and outside the city
as a hospitality gift by the university will be provided. In addition, the
target university will have the opportunity to choose better accommodations
with personal expenses.
