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.
