The College of Pharmacy at AAU won three prizes for the students’ and faculty members’ participations in the competitions held at the Dubai International Pharmaceuticals and Technologies Conference and Exhibition DUPHAT 2012.
Dr. Khairi Mustafa, Dean of the College of Pharmacy, expressed his pride: “Being awarded three prizes in scientific competitions where the contestants were researchers and students who represent international scientific organizations and institutions is a major accomplishment for the AAU students who proved their abilities. Our students’ skills and knowledge are deeply rooted in a modern educational system based on hands-on training and practical experience. This has enabled them to rise to the level of competition and win. Such an achievement is a motivation for both, faculty members and students, not only to keep up the level the College of Pharmacy has reached, but also to advance further towards the academic standards higher education in the UAE aims at in terms of enhancing scientific research at all educational stages.”
He added, “This is AAU’s third participation in DUPHAT since we realize the importance of this scientific gathering. Every year, DUPHAT brings together pharmaceutical companies as well as colleges of pharmacy from different universities. This year, AAU’s pavilion was frequented by many visitors who were impressed by the research activities carried out by the AAU’s pharmacy students. AAU’s participation included medical research, professional posters, presentations, and illustrations prepared by the students to connect with their potential job market and uncover their abilities.”
Further, Dr. Mustafa discussed the College’s plan to “take serious steps toward keeping up with modern scientific developments. AAU’s participation gave the students the opportunity to take part in a specialized scientific conference and allowed them to directly meet with the potential employers relevant to their field in addition to the different colleges of pharmacy, from within and outside the UAE, which participated in the exhibition.”
