In a learning experience that combined academic knowledge with practical application, students from Al Arab University for Medical & Technological Sciences in pharmacy, dentistry and physiotherapy took part in the “Science in Action: Field of Medicine” program organized by the British University in Egypt, with students from the International University and in cooperation with the Scientific Research Authority.
The participation is part of the university’s commitment to widening learning opportunities for its students and offering academic experiences beyond the classroom, through direct exposure to specialized educational and professional environments and to the latest training and practice methods in the health fields.
The program opened with a welcome and introduction by Dr. Ahmed Darwish, Dean of the Faculty of Continuing Education at the British University in Egypt, who spoke about the importance of scientific programs that bring health sciences students together in a shared learning environment and support the exchange of experience and knowledge between students and academic institutions.
The program also included a scientific lecture by Dr. Omar Amin of the Faculty of Dentistry at the British University in Egypt on topics related to medical practice and health education, as well as a tour of the university’s facilities and faculties led by the Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, during which participants learned about the learning and training environment and the equipment used in medical education.
Students also took part in a hands-on workshop that allowed them to engage directly with practical work and learn about the training and simulation methods used to prepare health sciences students. The program also gave students from different specialties the chance to connect, reinforcing the importance of integration between the medical sciences and of working within a multidisciplinary healthcare system.
The “Science in Action: Field of Medicine – SA-AMC.08 / 2026” program is one of a series of academic and scientific cooperation programs for undergraduate students in health disciplines including pharmacy, dentistry, physiotherapy and nursing. It focuses on linking theoretical knowledge with practical application through field visits, workshops, clinical simulation, seminars and scientific discussions.
The participation of Al Arab University students reflects the university’s commitment to building a well-rounded learning experience that exposes students to a variety of academic settings, develops their practical skills, and lets them engage with students and academics from different educational and research institutions.
The experience underlined the value of such programs in preparing health sciences students for the labor market by giving them opportunities to learn in real settings and to connect what they learn academically with what they will encounter in professional practice, in line with the university’s commitment to practice-based education that places students at the heart of the learning experience.
