Mission

Providing laboratory medical education to a diverse group of specialized personnel capable of competing locally and regionally through high-quality academic programs that develop professional and research skills that contribute to serving the community 

  First, on my own behalf and on behalf of my colleagues, both male and female, in the department, I am pleased to welcome you to the website of the Medical Laboratories Department at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences at Emirates International University.With its distinguished resources and competencies graduated from the most prestigious international universities, the department seeks to be an important tributary to national development in the field of medicine and healthcare.   This has been the case since the establishment of Emirates International University, where one of its most important goals was its relentless pursuit of excellence and keeping pace with the great development in the field of academic education and the tremendous revolution in methods and techniques of disease diagnosis and treatment, as well as in scientific research. From this standpoint - the program’s vision - the Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine program at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences was launched to achieve this vision by qualifying competent and qualified specialized graduates to participate effectively in this scientific and medical technology revolution in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention methods, and to excel in medical education, healthcare, scientific research and community service locally and regionally.   The department teaches its students the theoretical foundations and practical applications of various branches of laboratory medicine, using the latest teaching and training methods. This is in accordance with the academic accreditation standards of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the National Laboratory Medicine Standards (NARS) , and regional and international references. Furthermore, students undergo a full training year—the internship year—in one or more of the university's hospitals or specialized laboratories. The goal is to enhance their theoretical knowledge, hone their practical skills, and link theory with clinical practice.   The program qualifies its graduates to work competently as medical laboratory assistants and prepares them for entry into the labor market in various fields in the public or private sectors. It also enables them to practice in research centers, regional and international organizations, and universities. By browsing our website and learning more about the Medical Laboratory Science major at Emirates International University, you will see that the distinction of this program stems from the presence of an appropriate infrastructure, specialized laboratories equipped with the latest research and teaching technologies, advanced educational and administrative systems, and a teaching staff and support staff with a high level of academic excellence, professionalism, and dedication.   Finally, we look forward to the Medical Laboratories Department always being at the forefront and to benefit from the efforts of its staff in serving this generous nation. We wish you continued success and prosperity. Prof. Dr. Abdul Basit Al-Ghouri Head of Medical Laboratories Department
