MBRU signs agreement with MEHD to provide ophthalmology curriculum

Training

Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU) has joined forces with Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai (MEHD) to provide instruction and training in the field of ophthalmology at MBRU, as well as offer medical students clinical rotation at MEHD

An affiliation agreement ratifying this collaboration was signed by Dr Amer Sharif of MBRU, and David Probert and Elhadi Hassan of Moorfields Eye Hospitals in London and Dubai, on 21 January at the MBRU campus in Dubai Healthcare City.

Within this partnership, MEHD will organise and deliver teaching activities related to the field of ophthalmology for undergraduate medical students. MEHD will also chart out an annual educational plan covering the subject of ophthalmology and provide students with educational material on the subject and will oversee the entire programme.

The clinical rotation offered by MEHD will allow MBRU students to observe ophthalmological specialists in action from close quarters enhancing the students’ educational experience while at the same time amplifying practical exposure.

Dr Amer Sharif, vice chancellor of MBRU, said, “Our students will get the unique opportunity to witness how ophthalmologists operate on the ground and this exposure will be an invaluable addition to their development as healthcare professionals. Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai was, in fact, one of the first healthcare institutes to collaborate with MBRU, to which we will always be thankful.

“We’re proud to add Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai to our network of affiliates, this partnership is an illustration of our values of connectivity and excellence and it reaffirms our vision to become a global hub for innovative and integrated healthcare education and research,”

Elhadi Hassan, managing director of Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, said, “Our curriculum was developed by our team of experts, who have several years of experience in the field. The goal of the programme is to allow the students to cultivate and refine their knowledge through real-world experience. While working beside our world-renowned ophthalmologists, we hope that the students can use the skills they learn to prepare for their future careers in the field.”
