The surgical department was founded in 2019 when the college moved to the new location in the Bab Al Zubair College complex. Although the branch of surgery was established more than a year after the establishment of the college (because the subject of surgery is taught in the second stage) but the teaching staff of the surgery began their teaching tasks with the beginning of the work of the college in teaching students of the first stage because the teaching system in the Al Zahra medical college adopts the integrative system where we see the teaching branch teachers participate in teaching with other branches and since the first academic year such as the branch of anatomy and functions of organs and clinical skills
