Dubai Medical University (DMU) embodies the visionary legacy of the late H.E. Saeed Ahmed Lootah, a trailblazer in UAE education. The inception of Dubai Medical College for Girls in 1986 and Dubai Pharmacy College in 1992 attests to his commitment. Recognizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and a holistic approach to healthcare education, the transformative merger of these established institutions, along with the recent addition of the College of Nursing in 2023, marks a significant milestone—the birth of Dubai Medical University.

This evolution aims to establish a comprehensive healthcare education institution offering a diverse range of programs, from undergraduate to postgraduate degrees, across various healthcare fields. The establishment of DMU not only elevates educational standards but also provides students with a more inclusive and well-rounded learning experience, impacting the healthcare industry in Dubai and the UAE positively.

This preface introduces the exciting journey of quality enhancement undertaken by Dubai Medical University—a journey that reshapes medical, pharmaceutical, and nursing education, envisioning a future where healthcare professionals collaborate seamlessly across disciplines to enhance patient care.
