About Faculty of Medicine
The Faculty of Medicine was established in 1999 as a branch of the Palestinian Faculty of Medicine in Al-Quds University-Abu Dis. Since then, the Faculty has been gradually equipped with the basic infrastructure, classrooms and laboratories until it became a leading and pioneering Faculty at Al Azhar University. The university's Faculty of Medicine is internationally recognized by the British Medical Council and other countries such as the United States where the school graduates are able to pursue their study there.
In order to improve the health of the community and set the standards of excellence in medical education, research and clinical care, the Faculty hosts a number of professors from foreign countries such as Britain and Norway in order to give qualitative courses in medicine and to participate in preparing the final exams for students of clinical stage. Moreover, the Dean of the Faculty has signed an agreement with Harvard University in the United States in order to promote staff's medical capacities and give courses to medicine students in order to fulfill the needs of the Palestinians by graduating their own doctors and healthcare workers in accordance with the highest medical international standards.
The Faculty awarded Bachelor's degree in Medicine and surgery for the students who successfully pass 253 credit hours distributed over six academic years.
