Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences Secures Accreditation for Continuing Medical Education
16 Jul 2026
Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU), the heart of Dubai Health, which enables learning and discovery to advance health for humanity, has been designated as an Accredited Provider by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). This milestone places MBRU among leading international centers that adhere to the global gold standard for educational quality.
As an accredited provider, MBRU can now independently award AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, the leading measure of accredited continuing medical education accepted in over 40 countries and recognized with European CME credits (ECMEC). Through MBRU’s CME courses and workshops, healthcare professional at Dubai Health will earn CME credits that meet international standards.
Dr. Hanan Alsuwaidi, Deputy CEO and Chief Academic Officer of Dubai Health, and Provost of MBRU, said: “At Dubai Health, we are building a workforce that is continuously learning and responsive to the changing needs of our health system. This accreditation strengthens our integrated academic health system and our ability to embed structured, practice-relevant learning across our clinical environment, ensuring our physicians are equipped to deliver safe, high-quality care today and into the future.”
Dr. Dima Abdelmannan, Director of New Programs and Accreditation at MBRU, said: “Achieving ACCME accreditation formalizes MBRU's capacity to deliver high-quality, independent medical education that meets the highest international standards. It also opens new opportunities for collaboration with healthcare institutions to develop and deliver joint accredited educational activities that meet global quality standards and benchmarks.”
Professor Nabil Zary, Senior Director of the Institute of Learning at MBRU, said: "This accreditation marks a significant step in MBRU's evolution as a university that serves not only future healthcare professionals but also those already in practice. Our ambition is for MBRU to become a recognized center of excellence for lifelong professional development in the region, and ACCME accreditation provides the international framework to deliver on that vision."
MBRU celebrates second year of success at International Healthcare Innovation Bootcamp
Students from Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU), the learning and discovery arm of Dubai Health, have once again made an impact on the global stage at the ‘Design for Change’ international bootcamp, organized by Queensland University of Technology (QUT). The 2025 edition convened more than 100 participants from six countries, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the UAE, under the theme ‘Sustainability in Healthcare.’ Medical, nursing, design, and engineering students were immersed in this interdisciplinary and intercultural environment to develop innovative solutions that advance sustainability in the healthcare sector.
This year, MBRU’s Year 5 Doctor of Medicine (MD) student Sara Vidha and her team received the Best Problem-Solving Award for their solution to enhance energy efficiency in radiology departments. Krish Bhatia, a Year 2 MD student, and his team were nominated for the Best Team Strategy. This builds on MBRU’s success from last year’s bootcamp, where student projects received international recognition from Prototype4Humanity, and another earned Gold at the 2024 UNESCO Future Designer International Innovation Design Awards.
Dr. Yacine Hadjiat, Associate Professor of Innovation in Health Science and Digital Health at MBRU, and Head of Innovation and Digital Health, commented: “It’s truly inspiring to witness our students collaborate with peers from medicine, nursing, design, and engineering at this innovation bootcamp each year. Their ability to work across disciplines and cultures to develop sustainable, patient-centered solutions reflects the kind of innovation we strive for at Dubai Health. I congratulate all our students for their dedication, ingenuity, and for representing our university at this international program.”
The achievements of MBRU students at the International Innovation Bootcamp reflect a broader effort of Dubai Health to embed innovation across every level of its academic health system. As the learning and discovery arm of Dubai Health, MBRU contributes to this vision by equipping learners with the skills to apply innovation principles and design thinking methodologies. This commitment will continue to evolve with the opening of a Center for Innovation and Technology, a dedicated hub that will bring together students, clinicians, scientists, and industry partners to co-develop real-world solutions that improve health outcomes and patient experiences.
