American Hospital Dubai has achieved another important milestone in its journey in medical education after receiving institutional accreditation for its medical residency and internship programs from the National Institute for Health Specialties (NIHS), in recognition of its efforts to support medical training and develop healthcare professionals in the UAE.<\/p>\n
The National Institute for Health Specialties, affiliated with United Arab Emirates University, is a leading national body responsible for organizing and guiding the professional development of the healthcare workforce. It also oversees standards for specialty training, institutional accreditation, and program accreditation across the country.<\/p>\n
The accreditation, announced on July 6, 2026, reflects American Hospital Dubai\u2019s continued commitment to advancing medical practice standards, promoting professional excellence, and preparing qualified professionals who can contribute to improving the quality of healthcare in the UAE and the wider region.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the achievement, Rodina Haddad, Group Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of American Hospital Dubai Group, said: \u201cWe are proud to receive institutional accreditation for our medical residency and internship programs, which represents an important step in our journey in medical education. This accreditation reflects our commitment to providing a learning environment that combines academic training with clinical practice and contributes to preparing a new generation of doctors capable of delivering high-quality care and supporting the development of the healthcare sector in the UAE and the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
Haddad added: \u201cWe believe that medical education is an essential part of developing healthcare and improving its outcomes. We will therefore continue to advance our training programs and provide learning opportunities that keep pace with developments in medical practice. We extend our sincere appreciation to the National Institute for Health Specialties for granting us this accreditation, and we congratulate everyone whose efforts contributed to achieving this institutional milestone.\u201d<\/p>\n
The accreditation confirms the hospital\u2019s ability to provide an integrated educational system that brings together academic instruction and direct clinical experience, helping medical trainees strengthen their professional skills and work in line with high standards of quality and safety.<\/p>\n
Supporting medical education and preparing future leaders in the healthcare sector are among the core values of American Hospital Dubai.<\/p>\n
This vision is reflected in the American Hospital Academic Institute (AHAI), established in 2022 as the hospital\u2019s educational arm. The institute provides medical students with high-quality clinical training in an advanced healthcare environment.<\/p>\n
It also gives students direct exposure to the latest treatments and medical procedures, allowing them to gain the practical experience needed to manage a wide range of clinical cases. These opportunities contribute to the continued development of medical education and help raise healthcare standards in the UAE and the region.<\/p>\n
As part of its efforts to expand medical education, American Hospital Dubai, in collaboration with Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, established the first medical school in the UAE to offer a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree.<\/p>\n
The initiative aims to create an advanced academic environment and a healthcare simulation center that supports practical training and improves the readiness of medical students and doctors to manage different medical situations using the latest educational methods.<\/p>\n
The hospital\u2019s educational initiatives also include the Robotic Surgery Training Institute, established in partnership with Robotics Surgical Systems (RSS) and the UK-based CMR Surgical.<\/p>\n
The institute aims to develop the skills of healthcare professionals in robotic surgery and enable them to use advanced technologies in performing precise surgical procedures and improving the quality of care delivered to patients.<\/p>\n
The institutional accreditation of the medical residency and internship programs recognizes the commitment of American Hospital Dubai\u2019s leadership, faculty members, and Academic Institute team, as well as their collective efforts to advance medical education standards and improve patient care.<\/p>\n
The accreditation also reflects the hospital\u2019s success in providing an integrated educational environment that prepares doctors to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams and strengthens their ability to apply modern medical knowledge in everyday clinical practice.<\/p>\n
American Hospital Dubai remains committed to innovation and continuous development, while providing educational and training programs that support the preparation of future doctors and equip them to deliver healthcare according to the highest standards of quality.<\/p>\n
