Abstract

Background and Aims: As a roadmap for economic development and national growth, “Vision 2030” was adopted by Saudi Arabia (SA). With three main pillars, a lively culture, a flourishing economy, and an ambitious nation, SA will achieve its “Purpose 2030 vision.” There is also a need to ensure the vision is consistent with both medical and health education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess Medical internship students’ attitude toward compatibility of medical teaching with the Saudi vision 2030 in SA.

The Colleges of Medicine are requested to increase the participant of the students in the mobile clinics and activate their role toward their community, update the palliative care as the separate curriculum.
