Overview

The College of Public Health and Health Informatics has perceived the magnitude of the changes that have occurred in the requirements of the labor market, as well as the large gap that exists between the content of the formal study programs, and the practical needs in the form of market requirements and practical experiences demanded by different government and private institutions from graduates when they apply for any job.
