Yet, on August 1, 1986, our founder Haj Saeed bin Ahmed Al Lootah accomplished that very goal and classes began at DMU College of Medicine with Professor Dr. Zahira H. Abdin as the founding dean. His visionary dream had become a reality.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During these formative years, the College received substantial professional support and advice from the Leicester Medical School in the United Kingdom and the Cairo Medical School in Egypt. This international contribution combined with the faculty&#39;s extensive experience led to the creation of an intensive curriculum that would incorporate the best of the world&#39;s medical practices.<\/p> \r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-lg-5\" style=\"padding-top:20px\">\r\n  <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/dmu.ae\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1664444842big.jpg\" \/> \r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row g-4\"> \r\n<div class=\"col-lg-12\"> \r\n<p  style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since its inception, College of Medicine has been fortunate to receive help from the government of Dubai&#39;s Department of Health and Medical Services under its former Director H.E. Dr. Juma Khalfan Balhoul. The departments hospitals opened their doors and welcomed College of Medicine (COM) students for clinical training. Our continued drive for excellence demands seamless integration between clinical and pre-clinical phases. In 2004, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by DHA and COM to secure this process.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What we now know, as an outstanding educational institution, is a product of the cooperative solidarity of a group of people who put their heart and soul into it. Three decades of academic distinction have made College of Medicine a truly dynamic center of higher education par excellence.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With over 1500 graduates practicing medicine across the world and a campus that includes professors and students from over 50 different countries, DMCG has earned a reputation as one of the best institutions for medical education and a beacon of academic excellence.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In September 2022, the College ownership was transferred under &quot;Saeed Ahmad Lootah Charity Foundation&quot;.<\/p>\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>About College Of Medicine More than 30 years ago, establishing a world-renowned medical education institution for girls in the UAE would seem like an impossible dream.
