Status and respect in society
Doctors are seen as symbols of dignity, responsibility and service to the community.
Members of the local community are aware of the hard work and sacrifices that a medical
professional goes through to maintain standards. Therefore, doctors’ opinions regarding
the welfare of the community are taken into consideration, as is their exemplary behavior
and moral standing. This places additional responsibilities on doctors, but highlights
the fact that medical professionals are leaders of the local community.
Get involved in cutting-edge research
The end of your medical studies does not mean the end of your learning. The CMHS
provides its students with the chance to participate in summer research work. This
can be either in the college, with senior research professors, or overseas working
in well-known international laboratories.
Opportunities to study abroad
The CMHS at UAEU offers students 4-8 week electives that involve studying abroad
away from their home medical school. Most students use this opportunity to travel,
to experience another culture, to take part in relief work and to see how medicine
is practiced in other countries.

Graduated in 2020
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.

The college acknowledges and appreciates excellent academic performances, hence, rewarding
students with countless opportunities to pursue various training electives, both locally

medical education was one of the best decisions I have made.
Husain Chaqfa
6th year medical student
Our College of Medicine and Health Sciences fosters a student-centered culture that
is guided by innovative education and advancing knowledge. Besides the great support
we get from the faculty, our curriculum is greatly reinforced by opportunities to
apply our knowledge into simulated patient-interactions and clinical case studies.
This certainly allows us to hone our skills, solidify our understanding of medicine,
and makes us feel like the experience and learning is tailored to make us the best
versions of ourselves.
Noura Baniyas
6th Year Medical Student
The College of Medicine and Health Sciences, UAEU. I have spent the last six years
at CMHS, and I have grown to understand that it is more than just a place of learning,
it is a community. Where the faculty’s support for their students supersedes your
expectations. They have a passion for what they do, and they pay that forward in their
devotion to teaching, mentoring, and guiding the students towards their career choices.
The college gives students the opportunity, firsthand, to participate in a tremendous
array of research projects, that will help them excel in their future careers.
The simulation center provides the students with high end technical equipment to benefit
their learning and help prepare them for their clinical training. The student associations
and interest groups give students the chance to enjoy their free time by participating
in extracurricular activities outside of medicine. I am glad and grateful for having
gone through my medical school years at CMHS.
