In order to double the representation of trained Emiratis in the UAE healthcare sector, Gulf Medical University (GMU), Ajman, has announced scholarships and discounts in all its six colleges and 28 accredited programmes for Emirati students. 

 

The programme also includes full scholarship in Doctor of Philosophy in Precision Medicine in collaboration with Université Paris Saclay in France.

 

The university has also introduced career guidance training programmes for Emirati students to assist them in choosing careers in healthcare. 

 

"Students are provided with vocational counselling on subjects including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, biomedical sciences, healthcare management and economics, anaesthesia technology, medical laboratory sciences, physiotherapy, medical imaging sciences and healthcare management and economics," a university spokesperson said. 

 

"GMU has introduced the Future Scientists of the UAE programme to give Emirati high school students access to tools that are usually only made available to college students or beyond. The aim of the programme is to place the students in research labs to work on extensive research projects where they will interact with people and patients on one-on-one basis," the spokesperson added. 

 

GMU also offers graduate programmes in public health, physical therapy, endodontology, periodontics, clinical pharmacy, drug discovery development, healthcare management and economics, health professions education and medical laboratory sciences.-TradeArabia News Service
