On behalf of the planning committee, it is our great pleasure to invite
you to the “2nd SSMC Education Week”, which will be
held on Oct. 16-19, 2023, at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical
City, in partnership with Mayo Clinic.
The theme for this year’s iteration of the annual event is
“Ensuring a Sustainable and High- Quality Health Care
Workforce”. Each of SSMC’s five education centers – Graduate Medical Education,
Medical Student Education, Nursing Education, Health Sciences Education,
Workforce and Professional Development (Staff Development, Continuous
Medical Education and Simulation Center) – will showcase a variety of
innovative educational activities that underscore the role of education
in supporting and fostering sustainability, efficiency and quality of
the health care sector’s workforce. Our team will also present the
collaborations between SSMC’s Education shield and health care
institutions locally, regionally and internationally to establish
medical and clinical education programs as part of our strategic goal to
ensure the delivery of quality educational services.
We have designed a comprehensive four-day program that includes booth
activities and seminars featuring recent advancements in health
education and demonstrating our efforts to improve our medical education
system and redesign training and educational programs to meet the
challenges of a rapidly-evolving health care delivery system.
We strongly believe that participating in the 2nd SSMC Education Week,
which you can do in-person or virtually, will be a memorable experience
for you.
We are looking forward to your participation.
