The College of Medicine and Health Sciences provides a nurturing loving atmosphere.
Faculty treat students like family. They are helpful and provide guidance whenever
it is needed. The social club gives you the opportunity to meet new friends and to
relax after a hard days work. Other facilities, such as the dissection lab and histology
lab, are of a high standard with equipment of the highest quality to aid student learning.
I have no doubt that this is the best medical college in the country. Our university is the best in the UAE. The curriculum is modern and the timetable
is appropriate. The college library provides new books and up-to-date resources. The
faculty are experts in their subject areas and are excellent at both teaching and
communicating with their students My journey at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences (CMHS) has been incredibly
transformative. The support and mentorship from our dedicated faculty have been pivotal
in my academic and personal growth. Their passion for teaching and commitment to student
success are truly inspiring. I was honoured to be elected by my peers as the President
of the Medical Students Association, a role that has been a remarkable opportunity
for me. It has allowed me to develop leadership skills and foster a strong sense of
community among my peers. I am grateful for the chance to contribute to our student
body. The curriculum at CMHS has thoroughly prepared us for our future careers in
healthcare and continues to do so. I am proud to be part of such a supportive and
enriching environment. As I work towards graduation, I am committed to giving back
to my country and contributing to the healthcare system with the knowledge and skills
I have gained here. The College of Medicine & Health Sciences has greatly facilitated my growth as a learner
and professional. The faculty members are committed to helping students acquire the
knowledge and skills needed to become qualified and competent professionals. This
is evident in their openness to questions from students, even outside of lesson hours.
The mentorship program is another testament to this commitment, as students have the
opportunity to be guided by professors and doctors during their daily clinical practice
activities. CMHS provides a highly fulfilling learning experience where student success
is paramount. In addition to my academic experiences, serving as the Vice President
of the Medical Students Association has been immensely beneficial. This leadership
role has allowed me to collaborate with fellow students and faculty, organize impactful
events, and advocate for student needs. The skills and experiences gained from this
position have been instrumental in my personal development. I am truly pleased, satisfied,
and privileged to be enrolled at this institution. I graduated from the PhD program in Nutritional Sciences, in the Department of Nutrition
and Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences at UAEU, in Spring 2023.
My PhD journey was greatly enriched with immense support from the faculty in both
the Department and the College, which enabled me to achieve my academic and research
goals. I am grateful to UAEU for providing me with a scholarship and the necessary
resources to conduct my research. My project focused on the impact of bariatric surgery
on pregnancy and its effects on maternal and neonatal outcomes in the UAE, contributing
valuable insights to the nutritional care of pregnant women post-surgery. With the
guidance of my professors and the university's financial support, I was able to publish
my findings in top-ranked journals.
"I am incredibly grateful for the UAEU dietetics program, which has significantly
enhanced my critical thinking and practical skills. The comprehensive curriculum,
coupled with a strong emphasis on evidence-based practice, has equipped me with the
tools to effectively assess, diagnose, and intervene in patients' nutritional needs.
The NCP (Nutrition Care Process) has been instrumental in developing a structured
approach to patient care. Through real-world clinical experiences outside the university,
I have gained invaluable hands-on practice, applying my knowledge in a practical setting.
Additionally, the program's focus on research, exemplified by my participation in
SURE Plus, has allowed me to contribute to the field. Under the guidance of our esteemed
faculty, I was part of a research team that leveraged AI to create educational videos
about sodium-rich foods and strategies for reducing salt intake. This experience has
not only strengthened my research skills but also provided me with the opportunity
to directly impact public health.
I am confident in my ability to excel in the field of dietetics thanks to the exceptional
education and support provided by the UAEU, CMHs, and the Department of Nutrition
and Health. Thank you for shaping me into a competent healthcare professional."
As a student in the Master of Medical Sciences program, focusing on Microbiology and
Immunology, I have benefited greatly from the program's comprehensive approach and
research opportunities. My work in Professor Gulfaraz Khan’s lab, where I am investigating
the impact of oral versus intravenous transmission of EBV using a rabbit model, has
been particularly rewarding. The program’s advanced coursework and hands-on research
experiences have deepened my understanding of microbial science and immunology. The
dedicated faculty provide valuable guidance, enhancing both my academic and research
skills. Overall, this program has equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to
contribute effectively to the field of biomedical science, and I am grateful for the
opportunity to be part of such a distinguished program.Student Testimonials
