Summary:

"This book is a tale of success at the College of Medicine at Alfaisal University. The tapestry of the story is woven from the mission and vision of some people dedicated to understanding Western medicine in Saudi Arabia. Drawing on their memories, the founders felt that the book should accurately reflect the painstaking work that has gone into the project, which started far before the establishment of this college in 2008. Thus, "An Innovative Program at Alfaisal Medicine: A Brief History and Guide to Success" remains a synthesis of the major events in the past and present, helping to bring together the administrators and educators"-- Provided by publisher.
