The batch of students includes 26 dentists, enrolled into the five accre- dited postgraduate MSc programmes, testament to the school’s established position as a recognised leader in dental education, research and clini- cal practice. The three year Master of Science pro- grammes on offer incorporate clinical training at the level of Specialist Trai- nee. The courses provide appropriate preparation for external specialist clinical examinations including the Membership Examination of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edin- burgh, and therefore have a higher credit than that typically required for Master’s degree.

DSDM is home to some of the world’s top specialists in the field, and we are delighted to see the arrival of the second batch of students’. The new academic term has also seen the school welcome Dr Khawla Hu- maid Belhoul as Director of Clinical Operations. Dr Belhoul will manage the clinical operations and patient care at the clinic to support the aca- demic programmes. Inauguration of the new students took place at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Academic Medical Center (MBR- AMC), DHCC’s dedicated complex housing a number of facilities which collectively promote their healthcare education and research mission. Dr. Amer Sharif, Managing Director of Education at DHCC said ‘I am delighted to be welcoming our se- cond batch of postgraduate students.
