The mission of Al Qassim College of Medicine is mainly
to produce physicians who are both able and willing to meet and respond
to the changing health care needs and expectations of the Saudi Arabian
community. This is to be achieved in full partnership with the
Ministry of Health, other health providers, relevant sectors and the
community. The College has to realize its other functions in the three
areas of education, research and service as follows.
Education
In addition to graduating doctors with the above-mentioned attributes
and competences, the college has its role to play in education and
training of the various categories of health personnel to develop and
update their knowledge and skills through continuing professional
development (CPD) programs. The responsibility in education also
includes postgraduate education and educating the community in matters
related to health.
Research
In research the emphasis will be on studies that would help to sort out
the priority health problems of the country and efforts will be
expended in equipping both students and staff with the required
research capabilities in this regard.
Service
Although the service function mainly rests with the health system, the
college has an important role to play through its partnership with the
health system and community, through its faculty who render appreciable
health care to the people and through its community-based education
programs in which both students and staff are involved. During their
training in health care facilities the students work for upgrading
these facilities by involving the concerned communities and authorities.
