Internal Medicine Department

Overview

Welcome to the Department of Medicine within the College of Medicine and Health Sciences at United Arab Emirates University. The Department’s mission is to pursue excellence and lead in innovation in the areas of clinical care, clinical teaching, and biomedical research to achieve high-quality evidence-based patient care.

Comprised of full-time and adjunct faculty members, the Department provides guidance and supervision for undergraduate and postgraduate medical programs that take place in different educational settings and clinical placements. Our faculty members teach and coordinate core- & advanced clerkships in Internal Medicine & Emergency Medicine and preclinical organ-system courses. We also provide mentorship to clerkship students to support their academic and professional pursuits and promote student lead research activities. In addition, the faculty provide direct support for national residency training programs and postgraduate certification exams for the Emirati Board and Arab Board. Our faculty’s significant community participation is highlighted in many community-based educational activities, the establishment of a national organ donation program, membership and leading of national and international professional societies, and reviewers and Editors of scientific journals.

The department’s research projects encompass many fields of clinical research in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Medical Education. Our faculty strive to develop research methods to improve the science behind understanding the needs of people with acute illness and multiple comorbidities and in the areas of cancer, obesity, diabetes, and infectious disease.  We have an absolute commitment to delivering world-class research to improve the health and well-being of patients.

Facilities

The Department of Internal Medicine has the following resources:

  • One large-sized Audio-Visual Seminar Room in common use with other departments.
  • A Clinical Skills Stimulation Center in collaboration with the Medical Education Department.

An automated laboratory capable of measuring most routine substrates and clinical enzymes utilizing an Integra 400 plus and e411 immunochemistry analyzer from Roche. The lab is having capability of performing Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and analyzing most cytokines, tissue markers using an ELx800 Micro plate Reader. Sample processing unit provides standard refrigerated centrifugation, freezer storage options to –70°, computerized labeling, and assistance with sample packaging for shipping.
