Our Vision
To be recognized locally, regionally and globally for excellence in medical education, research and contributions to patient care and community services.
On behalf of the President of Yarmouk University, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Mousa Rababah, inaugurated the Scientific Day for the graduation projects of the Faculty of Medicine students, held under the theme: “The Physician-Researcher: Collaboration, Innovation, Impact.”
In his opening speech, Dr. Rababah expressed the university’s pride in the Faculty of Medicine, describing it as a national academic beacon that actively contributes to shaping the future of medicine, healthcare, and the development of the Jordanian individual. He emphasized that the faculty is not merely an educational institution, but an ongoing success story that produces doctors carrying a noble humanitarian mission of caring for lives and easing suffering.
Dr. Rababah stressed the importance of the university’s role in advancing medical knowledge, promoting scientific research, and bridging theory with practice. He highlighted the rapidly evolving challenges in the medical field due to health transformations and technological advancements. He urged students to be pioneers in knowledge production, not just recipients of information.
He also noted that Yarmouk University is confidently moving toward global recognition, thanks to the dedication of its faculty and students. He affirmed that the university's strategic plan is fundamentally built on principles of transparency, integrity, excellence, innovation, and leadership. In recent years, the university has achieved significant accomplishments and advanced rankings at the national and international levels, driven by outstanding researchers devoted to their country and community.
For her part, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Jomana Al-Suleiman, expressed her pride in the students and their projects, stating that this day is a celebration of intellect, diligence, and the spirit of research and discovery. She emphasized that scientific research is no longer a luxury but a necessity for any successful physician. Modern doctors, she noted, must not only possess clinical skills but also be critical thinkers and active researchers capable of contributing to scientific knowledge and medical practice.
Meanwhile, Dr. Zaidoun Al-Sharman, Director of Princess Rahma Teaching Hospital, representing partner hospital directors, stated that the Faculty of Medicine at Yarmouk University confidently faces the challenge of excellence and stands out as a unique model rather than a repeated version of others. He added that the research projects presented during this day reinforce the collaborative ties between the faculty and teaching hospitals, which helps in refining students’ skills and preparing them for innovation and success.
Graduate student Yara Kasasbeh delivered a speech on behalf of her fellow graduates, in which she stated that the graduation projects were not just assignments to conclude the academic year but were reflections of their passion, ideas, and aspirations as the next generation of physicians. She added that these projects are just the beginning—initial steps toward deeper research, broader ideas, and continuous contribution. She expressed her gratitude to the supervising team and professors for their support, effort, and knowledge.
The Scientific Day included a student research poster exhibition, along with a presentation of the Erasmus project in cooperation with medical faculties at other Jordanian public universities. This EU-funded project aims to develop medical education curricula.
The event also featured five oral presentations covering diverse topics: the psychological impact of the war on Gaza using the IES-R scale, predictive patterns and clinical criteria in hematologic malignancies among ICU patients, kidney stone treatment methods, approaches to treating myelofibrosis, and a study on gestational anemia and postpartum depression.
