The National Institute of Higher Semi-Medical Training in Oran, Algeria, is set to welcome 365 new students. These students will be enrolled in ten different specialties. The specialties include physical therapy, medical imaging, laboratory work, nutrition, and anesthesia and resuscitation. The institute operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Health and in coordination with the Health and Population Directorate of Oran.
The new academic year at the institute follows a series of preparatory meetings. These meetings involved the institute's management, department heads, and division leaders. They discussed various aspects of the new academic year, including the organization of student reception and the distribution of students into groups. The goal is to provide suitable conditions for the large number of registered students.
The institute's director, Abdullah Skil, stated that the previous year saw 567 students graduate. These graduates were distributed across various health institutions in Oran and neighboring provinces. Additionally, 77 midwives graduated after five years of training and joined their positions. This reflects the institute's connection to the needs of the healthcare system and the job market.
The institute currently has around 1,500 students. It attracts students from over 18 provinces due to its regional nature. The institute provides residence and meal services, in addition to theoretical and practical training. A new committee has been formed to enhance pedagogical support. This committee includes officials and specialists from both the institute and the medical field.
The committee aims to establish comprehensive pedagogical support. This involves doctors specializing in guiding theoretical lessons and practical applications, especially in specialized subjects that require precise medical knowledge and experience. The move is crucial given the high scientific level of the students, who have achieved high baccalaureate scores ranging from 15 to 18 out of 20.
The institute has taken several organizational measures in coordination with the University Services Directorate. These measures aim to provide accommodation for first, second, and third-year students under suitable conditions. This allows them to pursue their training in a stable environment. The institute is also moving towards digitalization and updating administrative and pedagogical services.
The introduction of the "Progress" platform has changed the daily pedagogical management style. It allows students to access information and documents electronically. This includes viewing their results and points, and obtaining basic administrative documents. The platform has improved transparency, simplified procedures, and enhanced service quality.
