Dear Students,

Welcome to 514 (E)HHA, an exciting course that will delve into the intricacies of health financing and administration. I am thrilled to have you all on board for this educational journey.

To begin, I would like to inform you that all course materials, including the syllabus, are readily available on our Learning Management System (LMS). Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the LMS and access the necessary resources for a smooth learning experience.

As part of this course, you will be assigned to groups, and each group will be tasked with submitting a project focused on health financing. This project is designed to enhance your understanding of the subject matter and provide you with hands-on experience in applying the concepts learned throughout the course.

To make the most of this learning opportunity, I strongly encourage you to diligently read the course materials provided. However, your learning should not be limited to the assigned readings alone. Take the initiative to expand your knowledge and skills by exploring additional resources, engaging in discussions with your peers, and seeking guidance from your instructors when needed.

Throughout this course, we will emphasize the development of essential competencies such as leadership, critical thinking, and knowledge acquisition. These skills will not only benefit you in this course but also in your future professional endeavors. Embrace the challenges presented to you and strive to master these competencies.

Please be aware that the department has established rules and regulations that all students must adhere to. These guidelines are in place to ensure a conducive learning environment and to maintain the integrity of the program. I urge you to familiarize yourself with these rules and follow them diligently.

Additionally, as students of King Saud University (KSU), you have both rights and responsibilities. The university has issued a set of policies outlining these rights and responsibilities, which can be found on the official KSU website. Please take the time to review these policies and ensure that you are aware of your entitlements and obligations as a student.

Once again, welcome to 514 E-HHA. I am confident that this course will provide you with valuable insights into health financing and administration. If you have any questions or concerns throughout the semester, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your designated course instructors. We are here to support you in your learning journey.

Best regards,

Wadi Alonazi
