The
faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences had joined the ranks of other
faculties of SIMAD UNIVERSITY during the academic year of 2014/2015. The
advancements in the field of medicine and the lack of qualified doctors in
Somalia and the dire need for qualified health professionals dictated the need
for competent doctors and graduates who can fulfill the existing medical needs
of Somalia.
It
is the first medical college in Somalia that adopts the Problem-Based Learning
(PBL) curriculum; as well as integration within basic sciences and clinical
sciences.
The
curriculum is oriented towards exposing students to the preventive, promotive,
curative and rehabilitative aspects of medicine. It aims to ensure that our
graduates have a good working knowledge of biological, psychological and social
mechanisms and processes, as well as their impacts on health and disease, based
on principles of learning drawn from cognitive psychology.
The
faculty’s role, in the society, will be, to contribute to the health and safety
of the Somali society. It will also continue to include consultative and
research facilities.
