About the Book

"Preparing Tomorrow's Doctors: A Call for Reform of Iraqi Medical Curricula" book is written in Arabic and includes a 72-pages abridged part written in English. Although addressing the reform in Iraq, the book is useful for any country looking for reform of the curricula of medical schools operating there. The book briefly reviews the history of medical schools in Iraq since the establishment of the first faculty of modern medicine in Baghdad in 1927 with the adoption of a curriculum which kept being copied by the colleges established after that. These started with the second college, which opened in Mosul in 1959 and then by the third in Basra in 1967. The total number of operating medical colleges in Iraq as of 2018 is twenty-nine colleges (with other 2 in preparation). The book reviews the evolution of medical education curricula in the western world, particularly in North America where most of the educational research and innovation is conducted and applied. The methods that the colleges in Iraq are currently applying are then reviewed and analysed. Internationally approved benchmarks and comparison tools are used in the book to examine the adopted teaching methods used, the quality and effectiveness of the educational strategies, and the methods of training and assessing the required student abilities and competencies required for graduation. The book aims, in particular, to show which methods provide sufficient opportunities for student to obtain the required competencies needed with emphasis on applied, clinical and behavioural skills. Also, it focuses on opportunities for the student to practice ways to create a spirit of inquiry, in-depth thinking and the ability to pursue lifelong learning. The book provides decision-makers and teaching staff with a simple but adequate guide on how to develop and adopt the steps described in the book in analysing the current methods of teaching and learning using the tools mentioned therein. Two sets of graduate outcomes are presented here for the Iraqi colleges to adapt. The book presents a practical way of analysis of the outcomes (Task Analysis) into knowledge, skills and attitudes to reach the right content for their curriculum. In addition, tools for analysing Iraqi standards of accreditation to reach and formulate the required educational strategies of curriculum, are also presented. The process of selecting and applying the best approach to reform a curriculum is certainly the responsibility of all departments in the medical college. The student who has been accepted to study at the medical college this year 2017-2018, will probably contribute to the health services until 2070, when s/he will be 70 years of age. Let us imagine that the foundations adopted by the college today and the methodology used to educate and equip this student with the knowledge, skills and professional actions that suits such long service. What sort of education such a student needs to empower her/him to face all the changes that will take place for the next 50 years? Would this education feed this student with a fish whenever feeling hungry or provide opportunities to practice how to fish to feed own hunger?
