College of Medicine in the University of Sharjah Appoints Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil as Advisory Board Member

The University of Sharjah's College of Medicine - renowned for its study in the United Arab Emirates - has assigned Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and Managing Director of VPS Healthcare, as an Advisory Board Member in the College of Medicine. Through this appointment, Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil will certainly work very closely with fellow board participants as well as the university's leaders to grow Emirati engagement throughout the health care industry.

The University of Sharjah was established in 1997 by H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, the Ruler of Sharjah, to fulfill the Emirate's instructional demands. Over the years the university has grown to end up being the recommended selection of Emirati trainees within the UAE. The University has an overall of 14 universities, which provide 94 programs at the bachelors, masters, doctoral and diploma levels. The College of Medicine supplies degrees in medication and surgical treatment, molecular medicine, and health education.

Speaking on his appointment Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, stated, "The University of Sharjah and the College of Medicine have actually played a vital duty in developing skilled individuals right into the nation's future leaders. I am grateful to be appointed to this duty, and I eagerly anticipate dealing with my fellow Advisory Board members, to contribute to the future of healthcare in the UAE, and encourage boosted involvement of Emiratis throughout the Health care ecosystem."

"The UAE Healthcare industry is on the edge of a major transformation with the growing use of technology and information to produce person centric remedies. The country's leaders have actually required boosted Emirati fostering of occupations in the private sector, and we at VPS Healthcare are dedicated to allowing this vision," added Dr. Shamsheer.

Currently less compared to 2,500 Emiratis work in the UAE's health care sector, largely as doctors and nurses. With the UAE health care industry positioned to expand to 103 billion dirhams by 2021, the industry will significantly call for local talent to be offered to fulfill its growth ambitions.

"We are extremely thankful to H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi for his vision and kindness. With Dr. Shamsheer as a member on the University of Medication Board of advisers, we'll be able to load the gap between education and careers in the health care industry for students from the University of Medication. From being an exercising physician to effectively setting up and managing one of the largest medical care groups in the nation, Dr. Shamsheer brings with him tremendous knowledge of the entire health care value chain, which would certainly benefit our trainees and the industry's growth in the UAE," said Dr. Salah Tahir Mohamed Sharif Al Haj, Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs, University of Sharjah.

Already recognised as a regional leader for health services and medical tourist, the emergence of the UAE as a beacon of clinical education and research study will urge the supply of talent to meet the industry's development needs. Lined up to this, the College of Medication is dedicated to ending up being an academic centre of excellence through its front runner courses, medical study and clinical training.

The initial conference of the Advisory Board for the College of Medication will be held on 24th April, 2017.
