Ras Al Khaimah Medical & Health Sciences University

It is noteworthy to mention that more than 40% of our students are recipients of merit scholarships from either Sheikh Saqr foundation for Excellence or through Ministry of Health & Prevention or other Government and NGO organizations. Further, most of our students who participated in various conferences both within RAKMHSU and outside received several awards including Sports awards. Looking at the progress made in the last 13 years, RAKMHSU continued to focus on the Student satisfaction level. It is very gratifying to see that the ratings based on the IRO feedback has seen a consistent improvement from as low as 2.50 out of 5 - to - 4.51 out of 5, in the different services like Academic Advising, Admissions, Examinations, Student Services, Finance & HR, IT facilities, Library and other services. With the implementation of University Management System, the university functioning has been made simple, fast, paperless and more effective. Nothing can be more satisfying to the University when we know that our students, who are the end users, not only understand the facilities available but also utilize them properly. In this connection, I really appreciate the efforts of the Institutional Research Office (IRO), who is working very hard to collect and analyze the data very systematically and all other offices of the University and the four Constituent Colleges. Thanks to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between RAKMHSU and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), through which our students get hands on clinical experience in both Sheikh Saqr, Obaidullah and Omran Hospitals in Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah Hospital in Fujairah. Commissioning of the Geriatric hospital with 140 beds has added to the comprehensiveness of the clinical teaching. Further, the Clinical teaching for medical students has been strengthened by the addition of 12 Core Clinical Faculty in addition to the Adjunct faculty from the respective hospitals. The Ministry of Health and Prevention also Sponsors UAE Nationals for the Nursing Program, both for Undergraduate and Masters programs.
