Dear Students, Greetings and welcome to the College of Dentistry, Gulf Medical University! The College of Dentistry believes that we need to educate a dentist who is fundamentally different in professional capabilities from his/her predecessors. We believe this because the world is changing rapidly. We provide education to dental students to prepare them to practice dentistry in the 21st century with knowledge and understanding of many different patient populations, dental specialties in varied practice settings. GMU dentists today are more culturally diverse than ever before. And, we hope that the dentists will redress the disparities in oral healthcare access that exist in UAE and across the world. The College presents a dynamic curriculum, which provides excellent clinical training, integrates the health sciences with clinical experience, and utilizes modern technology. Our success is based on maintaining a strong
faculty and staff, supported in their commitment to teaching and administration, professional development, scholarship, research, student and community service. Since its beginning College of Dentistry has played an integral part in the development of oral health care services and dental education. This college has an outstanding reputation for its clinical teaching programs and for its research and service programs that have impacted oral and general health locally, nationally and internationally. I am very proud to have recently become a member of the GMU family. We are situated at the heart of the new Ajman metropolitan area and have the benefit of a large pool of patients who seek care at our clinics. Additional training in patient care will be gained during assignments at affiliated hospitals and at dental centers in various locations throughout the country.
