As the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Benadir University, I would like to share my commitment to provide our student with superior education and learning environment. I am personally committed to the success of individual student.

Our teachers and professors are noted for their education to students, their excellent teaching, their clinical experience and their scholarly activities to remain at the cutting edge of their field.

We aim to teach our students to marry rigorous scientific knowledge and humane, compassionate care. And we have succeeded. Our graduates are distinguished not only by their exemplary patient care but also by their remarkable academic achievements.

Through the years, Benadir University college of Medicine has created many innovative and influential programs in medical education. For example, Benadir was a pioneer in combining traditional teaching methods with Problem-Based Learning, which focuses on self-directed learning and the development of active inquiry and critical reasoning skills. We also have developed a unique cadre of combined-degree programs.

 We have established a Center for Learning with goal to promote quality and consistency for all Benadir educational activities. The center may act as a catalyst for curricular innovation, evaluation and research at all levels of medical training.

We are here to pass to the next generation of knowledge, skills, and attitudes the   word Doctor means teacher. As doctors, we teach our patients, we teach our students, we teach our colleagues, we teach the public.

Our web site (www.benadiruniversity.net), hosts more than 3/4 of the didactic material of the first two academic years, termed by our last accreditation evaluators as "unique and powerful educational resource" Just recently, Benadir won a national award for its innovative programs.

In the late 2007's, the Institution planned to establish a joint department of Family Medicine and Community Health in recognition of the national need to produce more primary care physicians.

The Faculty of Medicine at Benadir University is noted for its teaching ability, and for its excellence in patient care and research, the faculty is involved in undergraduate medical education, and in the future we plan graduate and postgraduate as well as many specialized programs of national and international prominence.

  Benadir University remains committed to its long-standing goal of producing the generalists of tomorrow as well as specialists who will handle and investigate more complex medical problems.

Successful completion of our program enables Benadir graduates to obtain outstanding programs ranging from generalist medicine to highly specialized practice; and subsequently to achieve their fullest potential as clinicians, researchers, and public health workers.
