On May 11, 2025, the Spotting/move Exam for Semester 2, Stage 2 students was successfully conducted at the Anatomy Lab, CoM-UoS. The exam covered key practical topics in the Musculoskeletal (MSK) and Gastrointestinal (GIT) systems, offering students an essential opportunity to demonstrate their anatomical knowledge and observation skills.

We thank the faculty and staff for their efforts in organizing a smooth and well-structured exam session.

We wish all our students continued success in their academic journey.

The College of Medicine extends its sincere gratitude to Mr. Faruk Mullah Mustafa for his invaluable support and generous contributions to the advancement of our institution.

In recognition of his pivotal role in renovating the campus, the Dean of the College, along with faculty members, administrative staff, and students, express their deep appreciation for his continued dedication and positive spirit.

Moreover, Mr. Mustafa’s sponsorship in modernizing and electronifying the college’s academic and administrative systems marks a significant step toward a more efficient, technology-driven future. This transformation will enable faster services, better resource management, and improved access to digital tools for students and staff alike.

Thank you, Mr. Farooq Mullah Mustafa, for being a valued partner in progress.

We are proud to announce the publication of a significant new medical text authored by our esteemed faculty member, Professor Dr. Abdulsalam Y. Al-Musailah. Titled Hydatid Disease of the Lung: Treatable—But Deadly if Ignored, the book was released on April 28, 2025, and provides an in-depth exploration of a critical yet often overlooked public health issue.

Drawing on clinical data from 70 patients treated in major hospitals in Baghdad, Dr. Al-Musailah offers valuable insights into the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and outcomes of pulmonary hydatid disease. Supervised by the renowned Professor Nazar Baqir Elhassani, this work emphasizes the diagnostic value of chest X-rays and discusses advanced surgical approaches relevant to practitioners in endemic regions.

This publication is an essential resource for medical students, clinicians, and researchers, particularly those working in areas where hydatid disease remains a persistent threat. It stands as both a scholarly contribution and a practical guide for improving patient outcomes.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Abdulsalam on this important academic achievement.
