Founded through the vision of Haj Saeed Lootah, the College was  established on strong Islamic values to provide women in the UAE the  opportunity to pursue medical education locally, empowering them to serve their  nation with confidence and purpose.<br \/><br \/>\r\n  Today, the College advances that legacy through innovative,  future-focused programs delivered within a values-driven academic environment.  Our curricula are continuously reviewed and refined in alignment with the best  global practices in medical education, ensuring academic excellence and  societal relevance.<br \/><br \/>\r\n  Beginning Fall 2025, the College introduces a restructured,  competency-based 2+4 Doctor of Medicine (MD) curriculum. The first two years  focus on general education, followed by two years of integrated biomedical  sciences and two years of immersive clinical clerkships.<br \/><br \/>\r\n  In addition to the six-year MD track, a Graduate Entry MD (4-year)  pathway enables qualified degree holders to enter directly into advanced stages  of the program. Uniquely, graduates of health sciences programs may join the MD  in Year 3, reinforcing academic mobility and interdisciplinary progression.  Both pathways are globally benchmarked and designed to cultivate clinically  competent, ethically grounded physicians.<br \/><br \/>\r\n  The BBMS program is a forward-looking degree aligned with the UAE  Professional Qualification Framework, preparing graduates for national and  international certifications. It equips students with scientific expertise,  critical thinking, and innovation skills essential for leadership in laboratory  medicine, biomedical research, and the broader healthcare and life sciences  sectors. The program opens diverse pathways into clinical practice, research,  postgraduate education, and healthcare leadership.<br \/><br \/>\r\n  To strengthen academic leadership in healthcare, the College offers  postgraduate qualifications in Health Professions Education, including a  Postgraduate Diploma, and Master&rsquo;s degree. These programs empower healthcare  professionals to excel as educators, curriculum designers, and academic leaders  in an evolving global health landscape.<br \/><br \/>\r\n  Beyond academics, the College nurtures a vibrant student life.  Through an active student union and a wide range of scientific, cultural,  social, community, and sports initiatives, students build lifelong professional  bonds and meaningful community engagement.<br \/><br \/>\r\n  We invite aspiring young women to join College of Medicine, Dubai  Medical University, where tradition meets innovation, and education becomes a  pathway to service, leadership, and impact.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><br>\r\nDean, College of Medicine<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-lg-4\" style=\"background-color:#F7F4EA; background-image: url(https:\/\/dmu.ae\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/bg_3-1.png);\r\n    background-position: bottom right;    background-repeat: no-repeat;\">\r\n<div  style=\"padding-left: 45px; margin-top:50px\"> \r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dmu.ae\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ls_yousif.jpg\" alt=\"image\"><div class=\"image-box-details text-center p-10 pt-10 pb-10 bg-lighter\">\r\n<p class=\"desc mb-0\"><strong>Prof. Yousef El Tayab<\/strong><br>\r\nDean, College of Medicine<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Message from the Dean Dubai Medical University College of Medicine proudly stands as the first private medical college in the UAE to award a degree in Medicine and Surgery.
