Despite the dearth of allied health professionals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the demand for them has increased. Like any other geographic location, KSA, has its own pattern of diseases. Therefore, the curriculum of the health professionals should be appropriately designed to meet the health needs of hospitals and clinics.
To demonstrate that changes in the curriculum of Allied (Applied) Health Sciences in KSA are necessary, and how these changes should be implemented. This paper also recommends that these changes must: (1) be based on the current needs of the community, (2) satisfy the health requirements of the Saudi community as well as the realities of its health practices. The Allied Health Colleges must: (1) undertake a long-term review of the curriculum, (2) ensure that the curriculum reform is continuous, (3) target faculty development, (4) target student evaluation.
尽管沙特阿拉伯王国(KSA)的专职医疗专业人员短缺,但对他们的需求却在增加。与其他任何地理位置一样,沙特阿拉伯王国也有其自身的疾病模式。因此,卫生专业人员的课程应进行适当设计,以满足医院和诊所的卫生需求。
证明沙特阿拉伯王国联合(应用)健康科学课程的变革是必要的,以及应如何实施这些变革。本文还建议这些变革必须:(1)基于社区当前的需求,(2)满足沙特社区的健康要求及其健康实践的实际情况。联合健康学院必须:(1)对课程进行长期审查,(2)确保课程改革持续进行,(3)以教师发展为目标,(4)以学生评估为目标。
