Ras al-Khaimah Medical and
Health Sciences University (RAKMHSU) is the First Comprehensive
Health Science University in UAE under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah and Supreme Council Member, United Arab Emirates, who is also the Chancellor of the University. With the continued unstinted support from His Highness, RAKMHSU is marching forward as per its Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives. Now, RAKMHSU is fully owned and managed by the Government of Ras Al Khaimah. Further, all the programs have been fully accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation under the Ministry of Higher
Education & Scientific Research. RAKMHSU is known for its absolutely honest and transparent administration, focusing on professionalism.
It is also a matter of pride for RAKMHSU for being able to be the First in UAE to start two year Masters Programs in
Nursing and Pharmacy. Now, in addition to the MS in Adult
Health Nursing (MSN), MS in Clinical Pharmacy, we also have MS in Pediatric Nursing, MS in
Community Health Nursing, MS in Psychiatric-Mental
Health Nursing, MS in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, MS in Pharmaceutics and Pharm.D, programs after due accreditation. It is also heartening to see our
Nursing and Pharmacy Graduates getting placements in different hospitals and industries immediately after their graduation. It is also satisfying to note that our students have not only done well in some of the external qualifying examinations, but also have done well in both Dubai
Health Care and
Health Authority of Abu Dhabi (HAAD) Examinations.
From the humble beginning with 22 students, RAKMHSU has grown remarkably well, having 1300 plus students from 48 different Nationalities. Same way, RAKMHSU is proud of having 109 Teaching Faculty, 113 Adjunct Faculty and 96 Non-teaching Staff hailing from 26 different countries. Actually, RAKMHSU has become a role
model of synergy and cooperation among the students and faculty of different nationalities and religions pursuing with commitment their respective professional careers. The continued significant contribution from our committed faculty has helped RAKMHSU immensely in improving the academic standards. RAKMHSU is proud to maintain a Student-Teacher Ratio at 7:1, which is more than an ideal situation. One of the happiest moments for RAKMHSU was the First Convocation in 2010, which saw 19 Medical and 48
Nursing students getting their degrees from the hands of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi.
