Within the same context, Dr. Mohammad Qassem, the coordinator for the field training committee, explained that the department is particularly interested in providing training opportunities that match the academic goals of the program and the student's specialization, and that the selection process for the parties involved in the training involves many criteria, such as credibility, the quality of the training programs provided, and the presence of qualified supervisors.
The participants were eager to share their opinions regarding the process of executing field training and ways to elevate it. The event was marked by student participation in all activities There were many questions and enquiries made by the students, and all were answered by Dr. Harun, who wished the students all the best in their training and in their future career.
