Dean’s Letter
On behalf of the faculty and administrative staff of the College of Applied Medical Sciences, I would like to welcome you.
The college is located in Shaqra Governorate, which follows Riyadh Region. The college is considered one of the reflections of the comprehensive development which the state seeks to achieve in various governorates and cities of the Kingdom.
The importance of the college lies in the specializations that it provides to the labor market, as there is shortage in health specialty graduates in general, both on global levels and locally.
The college currently offers three undergraduate programs: Clinical Laboratory Science program, Nursing program, and Health Rehabilitation program. It also offers a Master's program in Clinical Laboratory Science in Clinical Biochemistry and Medical Microbiology tracks. The college is looking forward to opening more programs based on the needs of the labor market in the various disciplines of Applied Medical Sciences.
The college relies in its educational programs knowledge-based practical application. These include the establishment of concepts like self-learning and critical and creative thinking. It also aims to motivate scientific research and community service. These, together, are essential to build up the professional identity of a medical-college graduate with all its vital components. It goes without saying that our graduates are qualified to obtain a certificate from the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) and secure a professional registration. Not only shall this entitle them to work in various public and private agencies, but it will also make them eligible to pursue postgraduate studies in local and international universities.
