Dean's Message
Thank you for visiting the website of the College of Medicine at Qatar University. It is my privilege as the Founding Dean of the College to lead its development into one of the region’s foremost medical education providers that will be the first choice for distinguished students, academics and researchers in the medical field.
Based on a commission by HH The Emir, the College was established in 2014 as a joint initiative by Qatar University and Hamad Medical Corporation. It is rooted in the specific needs of the Qatari society and well aligned with national strategies and priorities in healthcare education.
The College is driven by passionate dedicated faculty and attracts promising resilient students and we are committed to building within Qatar University an outstanding medical college, set to equip our students with the right competencies and produce qualified physicians empowered with the knowledge, skills and personalities that will enable them to transform the future of healthcare in Qatar.
Creating a community of future doctors who are patient-focused, skilled in caring for people with respect and compassion is at the very heart of our educational philosophy.
I look forward to graduating our first batch of doctors in 2021.
Whether you are a prospective student, parent, faculty member, or simply a curious visitor, I welcome you and invite you to explore our website and learn more about us.
Sincerely,
Prof. Egon Toft
Vice President for Medical and Health Sciences
Dean of the College of Medicine
