Message from the Dean
Dear prospective Resident/Fellow,
I take great pleasure in welcoming you to our GME community at MBRU.

Our faculty members are not only committed professionals who understand the local and regional needs but also come with a wealth of international experience, reflecting our aim to provide training and practice that is nationally responsive and globally connected. All our training sites have state-of-the-art facilities and provide an outstanding educational experience.

Trainees are represented on our Institutional Training Committee to ensure that you are listened to and catered for as the key stakeholder of our programs.
As a health professional myself, I believe in the quote that says, “The chapter you are learning today is going to save someone’s life tomorrow.” I therefore strongly encourage you to take advantage of your opportunities during your training period as we support and facilitate your transformation to independent, confident and successful medically specialized professional of the future, impacting the society and the world at large.
