Clinical & Community Services
Family Medicine Department faculty offer clinical care at clinics operated by Seha Ambulatory Health Services (AHS) in Al Ain. These clinics provide a wide range of health services ranging from adult to pediatric care and also including chronic disease management, vaccination and other services. Some clinics have ultrasound and x-ray (e.g. mammography) facilities, while most take care of minor emergencies. There are also dieticians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, physiotherapist and sub-specialty physicians who work closely with the family physicians.
The Family Medicine Department makes use of these clinics in order to teach medical students and family medicine specialist in a real life context. Therefore, medical students have the opportunity to both observe and take part in patient care while under direct professional supervision. The students take down medical histories, conduct physical examinations, and conduct minor procedures such as vaccinations, pap smears and change dressings. They also get experience using the electronic health record system.
The Family Medicine Department strives to build healthy partnerships with these clinics by joining educational activities such as the Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs. The clinic physicians enjoy having the opportunity to work with medical students as it stimulates reasoning and reflection. The department also organizes medical education seminars to build on the teaching skills of the clinic physicians and also to recognize outstanding teachers.
