Overview
The department of Internal Medicine is committed to be the leading academic department in the UAE by providing high-quality teaching, research and clinical service. Below are some of the activities of the Department members:
Clinical service: Members of the department provide inpatient and out of hours oncall consultant general and specialist service for the two main teaching hospitals on daily basis.
Clerkship & Residency Programs: We set up and contributed to a number of clinical teaching facilities and training programmes designed to enhance the learning experience in all areas of patient care and health care delivery. Members of our department provide the clinical lead/directorship of the International Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP)[UK] diploma examination centre in Al Ain. We have a number of established examiners to Royal College of Physician of London who provide regular teaching sessions for residents and other junior doctors taking the MRCP diploma examination here in Al Ain.
Research: Members of the department hold a significant number of new and ongoing clinical research grants in the local community research priority areas and publish papers in high impact factor peer-reviewed journals. Many of our research priority areas such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are not single academic disciplines but rather draw on many university and hospital departments from genetics to health services research studies and from nutrition to sociology. This is because the UAE society has been through rapid socioeconomic and social changes with urbanization over the last 40 years. Accompanying changes in diet and lifestyle are leading to growing epidemic of overweight/obesity, diabetes and other related cardiovascular diseases. Addressing some of these health issues requires collaboration and strong and vigorous research community.

- Obesity
- Diabetes
