The College of Medicine at University of Basrah hosted the written and oral competitive exam for admission to a training fellowship for bariatric surgery and metabolic disorders for the academic year 2023/2024, which is a local fellowship sponsored by the Arab Council and the supervising committee for study in Iraq. It accepts specialized doctors who have obtained an Arab or Iraqi board certificate or its equivalent after two years have passed since they were granted the title of specialty. Doctors from all governorates of Iraq are accepted in it, and the study period is two years.
This hosting came within the framework of cooperation between the College of Medicine and the training centers, as Basra leads the study centers in the field of obesity and metabolism.
The Dean of the College of Medicine, Prof. Dr. Mortada Muhammad Salih Al-Musafer, visited the exam hall as part of his daily tour to inspect the progress of the teachings and met the members of the committee as well as the participating students who came to study this year.
