Peace, God's blessing and graciousness be upon you
At a time, where all the departments of the ministry of higher education and research including our university in Kirkuk honourably compete and aspire to improve on its knowledge and performance for the service of our nation and in order to succeed and innovate to gain a good academic accreditation; our college of medicine in the university of Kirkuk, has been the frontier in taking the lead in providing a good medical education in Iraq since the colleges was set up.

The basic mission, the college has is to provide an excellent medical and academic knowledge to our students to enable them to engage in the best quality in teaching and training. The college encourages the medical students to be involved in medical research and prepares the students to practice evidence based medicine. Our graduates will be getting bachelor degree in medicine and surgery, they are knowledgeable, and are getting high ethical standard teaching and learn skills they need to serve our nation and improve the standards. They will eventually take on leadership roles.
The knowledge provided to the medical students in the college will guide them in managing different types and scales of common health issues and health problems in the society, they are taught how to find ways out of these challenges.
I have no doubt that the students will be capable of identifying and planning the treatment of common diseases and know how to prevent the spread of communicable disease and of any other health crises.
The students will also be told in the years of studying in the college, the evidence based medicine and encouraged to join postgraduate studies and courses to specialize in various areas in Medicine to effectively contribute to improve the care. They will be taught in the postgraduate specialization by competent teachers who will provide good quality teaching and training, they aspire to get until graduation. We are optimistic that they will lead, and that contribute and compete with the regional Arabic and international universities in the world.
