MOUs and Affiliations

The College partnered with a range of practice sites and regulatory authorities to fulfill its mission to
produce graduates equipped with both theoretical and practical scientific and technical knowledge. These
affiliations provide students with optimal training opportunities and enhance the experiential component
of the curriculum. Students will develop professional skills and be practice-ready when they graduate.
The partnerships extend across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, enabling students from Abu Dhabi and Al-Ain
campuses to conduct their training close to where they live. We have established long-term collaborations
with the following organizations:

• SEHA
• Department of Health
• National Rehabilitation Center
• Universal Hospital
• Gulf Diagnostic Center
• Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi
• Abu Dhabi Ports
• ADVETI (Abu Dhabi Vocational Education and Training Institute)
• CAMFIL (Indoor Air Quality)
• FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization – a United Nations entity)
• OSHAD (Abu Dhabi Occupational Safety and Health Center)
• ADFCA (Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority).

More recently, the College established new affiliations with a broader range of renowned health and
medical centers to further enhance its programs’ experimental and experiential education. The most
recent agreement was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Mediclinic that aims to
provide the best training opportunities for Laboratory Medicine and Public Health students by exposing
them to optimal laboratory practices and various departments and services related to their field of study.

The College signed MOUs with the following centers in recent academic years.
