“Dubai is a scientific platform and a center for honing and developing the efficiency of physicians in micro-medical fields, which we desperately need, Especially in light of the low numbers of intensive care physicians not only in the UAE, but globally, Despite the fact that they are one of the most important pillars of the health system, which needs all forms of support and care, which is keen on the award by supporting the intensive care conference organized by the Division at the Emirates Medical Association annually.” He added

 

He also stressed that Dubai will start hosting the second part of the test as of 2020, After the great success achieved by Dubai and the impressive results achieved by the doctors who undertook the part1 tests over the past five years, Which recorded the highest success rates in the history of the European Board.

He pointed out that the first part of the test in Dubai includes the theoretical part, The test of the second part, which we seek to polarize as of 2020, will include the practical and theoretical aspect of improving the professional performance of doctors in this important field, By expanding the number of physicians with European Board certification, the number of doctors who got the board through the first part test in Dubai, and completed the second part in Europe has so far reached more than 19 doctors from the UAE and Arab countries, This is a great achievement for Hamdan Bin Rashid Award for Medical Sciences, the award expects double the numbers in the coming years after the adoption of the UAE to conduct the test the second part, Because this will save doctors and effort and money and will be able to continue their work in their health institutions without any interruption of work.
