Abu Dhabi: NMC Royal Hospital, Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi, launched its Medical Internship Program as it got the regulatory approvals to be an “Approved Practice Setting for Intermediate Teaching Facility” by the Dept. of Health, Abu Dhabi.
The NMC facility has been set forth by the Department of Medical Education and thereby accredited as a provider of undergraduate observership, internship, experience equivalency and transition to practice for pharmacy.
The programme deployed at NMC Royal Hospital is designed to fulfil the educational needs of the twenty medical school students per year who have completed the undergraduate training as per the requirements and come for an internship program of 12 months length.
The program got underway over a brief ceremony presided over by the CEO of NMC Healthcare Michael Davis, who said,” One of our challenges in running a healthcare system has been the dearth of the homegrown and a local talent pool. Since Sheikh Zayed founded the country 50 years ago, the rulers and leaders of the UAE have provided equal opportunity and support for Emiratis and residents to ensure that citizens have access to world-class education and training. We pledge our support to the UAE rulers and leaders in promoting private healthcare education for nationals and residents and welcome the opportunity to diversify and enrich our staff rosters across the UAE.”
Talking about the four interns and their 12-month internship, the Head of the Internship Program Dr. Arun Arya, Chair of Medical Specialities, HOD & Consultant Pulmonology at NMC Royal Hospital, Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi said, “The interns shall be rotated throughout three different medical specialties of Medicine, Surgery, and Paediatrics. With approved practice setting Intermediate license, we can now accept Continuous Medical Education and Transition to Practice Programs which includes Internship, Return to Practice and Experience Equivalency programs etc.”
According to the hospital, this project had started at the beginning of the year 2019 with Basic Observer-ship programme for the medical graduates and the hospital completed few observer-ship programme in the same year.
