As part of the efforts to strengthen scientific and academic cooperation between the departments of Al-Mustaqbal University and enhance students’ practical skills, the Department of Medical Instrumentation Engineering Technologies at the College of Engineering and Engineering Technologies, in cooperation with the Department of Physical Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation at the College of Health and Medical Technologies, organized a scientific visit to Imam Al-Sadiq Teaching Hospital (Turkish Hospital) on Monday, November 9, 2026.
The visit was attended by Assistant Lecturer Amer Mohammed Khalaf from the Department of Medical Instrumentation Engineering Technologies and Assistant Lecturer Hisham Maher Mohammed from the Department of Physical Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation, accompanied by second-year students from the department.
The visit included a field tour of the Physical Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation Units, during which students were introduced to the medical devices used in therapeutic sessions, their operating mechanisms, and how they are utilized in providing therapeutic and rehabilitation services to patients. They also gained practical insight into the nature of work within these specialized units.
Furthermore, the students learned about the patient data entry system and the procedures for documenting patient information. This included recording personal details and medical history, identifying the required therapeutic sessions, specifying the devices used and the duration of each session, and subsequently saving and monitoring patient information within the department's approved records. These procedures contribute to organizing therapeutic services and ensuring continuous patient follow-up.
The visit also covered the procedures for receiving and referring patients to the Physical Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation Department, whether through referrals from the hospital's wards and inpatient units based on recommendations from consulting physicians, or through patients referred by outpatient clinics and specialist doctors according to their rehabilitation needs.
This visit is part of Al-Mustaqbal University's commitment to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, providing students with opportunities to explore real clinical environments and become familiar with the latest practices and procedures in physical therapy and medical rehabilitation. Such activities contribute to developing students' scientific and professional competencies and preparing them to enter the labor market efficiently.
At the conclusion of the visit, the visiting delegation expressed its sincere appreciation and gratitude to the administration of Imam Al-Sadiq Teaching Hospital and its medical and therapeutic staff for their warm reception, cooperation, and valuable information and explanations, which contributed significantly to achieving the scientific and educational objectives of the visit.
