The current landscape of Iraq's 30+ government-funded medical schools with national accreditation and competency-based training.
Major challenges, including outdated curricula, limited training facilities, faculty shortages, and overcrowded classes.
Recent reforms in Kufa, Karbala, and other universities introducing problem-based and integrated learning with a focus on professionalism and communication skills.
The critical issue of student mental health, with high anxiety and depression linked to high-pressure systems.
The urgent need for context-based curricula, stronger primary care links, and faculty development.
