For the first time in Egyptian universities, the Ministry of Higher Education
sponsors a project enabling a team of Assiut University students to produce
their first collection of animated medical educational films. Student Abul-Qasim
Sami, director of the project and member of the team, indicated that the project
won in an MHE competition where 67 particpant projects from nationwide
universities were presented. Abul-Qasem added that their project took more
than 9 months to produce more than 30 educational animated films including 3D
and 2D films on various medical subjects such as: Blood Circulation between
mother and fetus, DNA Structures, and Blood clotting process. . . etc.
On his part, Abdel Rahman Sanousi, member of the 30-medical-students team,
assured that the project aimed at making medical studies easier and more
interesting by using modern technology and translating theoretical knowledge
into animated images; a matter that helps both students and faculty members to
achieve better understanding and perception.
Dr. Mohamed Maqboul, lecturer in Plastic Surgery and Supervisor of the project
pointed out that the benefit of the project will not be confined to students of
the Faculty of Medicine, but it will also help students of Dentistry, Veterinary
Medicine, and Pharmacy. Dr Maqboul added that the project did not only produce
animated films, but also it produced more than 20 educational clips showing real
and sample surgeries, besides photography of practical samples.
