Introduction

 The field of health education and promotion in the master's degree has been formed with the aim of developing education and health promotion among the community and changing health-related behaviors. In addition, we set our goals to focus on education as the main pillar of various levels of prevention and promotion to elevate the level of public awareness in society, reduce the costs of disease and improve the level of health and quality of life of human communities.

Since October 2015, the master's degree program in health education has been launched in the Faculty of Health, Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences with the admission of 6 students, and now a total of 17 students (in four periods) are studying for a master's degree. So far, 18 people (during three periods) have been educated. In addition, in 2020, this group succeeded in launching its international branch as the first group in the country and the university in the Faculty of Health by attracting two international students from Iraq.
