The new batches comprising of 60 students from DMC and 75 students from DPC took a tour of the colleges prior to the ceremony as per tradition. In his motivational address, Haj Saeed Lootah congratulated the students for choosing a noble career, and inspired them to use their position to serve the society.
Discussing the plans and programs for the new academic year, Professor Mohammed Galal El Din Ahmed, Dean of DMC said,
"As the first medical college in the UAE, we take great pride in contributing skilled female medical practitioners to our society. In an effort to constantly raise our benchmarks, we hope to bring international guest faculty this year to conduct short courses on clinical cases. I extend a warm welcome to our newest batch and wish them a bright future."
Dr. Saeed Ahmed Khan, Dean of the Dubai Pharmacy College commented, "Pharmacists play an important role as a vital link between the physicians and the patients. There is an acute shortage of skilled pharmacists in the region. As a result, we have been seeing a huge demand for the Pharmacy degree over the years. We extend our full support to the new students to maintain the high performance standards of the college and enable them to meet the needs of the community."
Over 1000 professionals have graduated till date out of which close to 400 are Emiratis. The colleges develop progressive programs for students as well as faculty and are among the first educational institutions to be awarded the 'Dubai Quality Appreciation Program' for best practices in the medical curriculum delivery process.
