Students from the UAE will take centre stage at Arab Health, the leading healthcare exhibition in the Middle East, which takes place from January 30 –February 2 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, with the launch of the inaugural Future Doctor Programme.
As part of the new initiative, students from the region have developed research addressing key topics within the UAE healthcare industry, including radiology, surgery, emergency medicine, pain management, sustainability in healthcare and healthcare innovation, amongst others.
The top 15 research papers will be showcased in poster format at the show, where students will have the opportunity to discuss their findings and engage in scientific discussion with experts speaking at the Arab Health Congress.
