    On its second day, the workshop included discussions on programmatic accreditation for medical colleges according to approved international standards, in addition to dialogue sessions on evidence-based medicine. Professor James Coy, a lecturer from the University of Northumbria, stressed the importance of developing evidence-based educational methods to improve academic and medical performance. In his statement, Dr. Coy said:

    "This is not my first visit to Iraq, but what I see here at University of Alkafeel  and the College of Medicine shows remarkable development. The university has an excellent infrastructure, and the curricula that show a high positive response from students. The cross-border medical education that we are transferring from the United States and the United Kingdom to Iraq, and specifically to University of Alkafeel , will contribute to improving the overall performance of medical education in the country."

    He added: "I see that the College of Medicine at University of Alkafeel , despite being a young university, is on the right track of achieving its goals to solidify the medical education."

    The workshop was attended by a group of professors from medical colleges at the private and public Iraqi universities, and certain prominent academic figures. It shows the framework of Al-Kafeel University and its efforts to enhance international collaboration and exchange of expertise to augment the level of medical education in Iraq.
