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.

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,

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.
