Assiut University President, Prof. Dr. Tarek El-Gammal, revealed that the training and practice systems of doctors are stronger than the educational systems available in the faculties of medicine, pointing out that the distinction of Egyptian doctors in a number of disciplines is due to the density of practice and accumulated experiences rather than an excellent educational system. This was announced during the participation of the President of the University of Assiut in a seminar entitled "Development of medical education through the integrative medical system", which is held in the proceedings of the 8th International Conference of the Society of Integrated Medicine and Sleep Disorders organized by the Association under the umbrella of the Union of Arab Universities and the cooperation of Assiut University, Aswan University, Badr University, and Sudan Nile College. Prof.Dr. Suzan Salama, Professor of Chest Diseases at Assiut University and President of the Conference, stated that the session aims to discuss the most important features facing the development of medical education through the system of integrated medicine.
