hi saba,
im a graduate from dubai med college,yes,there is a little bit of discrimination,but at the end of the day u r better off in dmc,coz in 3rd year u get to practice in all government hospitals(where maximum exposure to patients is given)in gulf med college u dont have permission to study in those hospitals.Another major thing to consider is that at the end of ur coarse u want the best degree,problem free,which will help u in other countries too,which is offered by DMC no doubt(u dont have to take my word for it,just do ur research and talk to seniors from both colleges and u'll know)

are these universities even accredited in the US or Canada??

None of the medical schools outside USA and Canada are accredited in the US. Check out http://www.lcme.org/directry.htm

Is this really a good school? Can someone please explain the process of the steps one takes to practice medicine in the U.S. due to being an a foreign medical graduate? I understand there is some 'fifth' something if you received your bachelor's from the U.S. Isn't it better to attend a D.O. school in the U.S. instead of having to jump through hurdles to practice medicine in the U.S. due to being a foreign graduate?

I am planning to enrol to this college next year but I can't seem to be able to find any information about it on the internet.

I tried looking up forums but there is no info about grads or current students or anything..

I heard it's really good and the educations seems to be good there but apart from that, NO INFORMATION AT ALL.

If someone can please help me and give me some information about Dubai Medical College.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm studying at DMCG...3rd year now...
you have to consider a couple of things before you consider DMCG
it is an all girls college....that automatically means you're going to have a hell lot of rules here
attending classes is mandatory! no excuses!
if you're planning to live at the hostel you're not going to be allowed to go anywhere using the public transport, and if anyone's coming to take you out there has to be a written approval from your guardian
the teachers are good but the biggest problem for me is that the accent is a REALLY strong arabic one....some days i can barely understand them. not everyone has that problem though...some of the girls can easily get them...it's all about how good you are at adapting...
there are no activities EVER...okay maybe once in a while....but people usually avoid those because they're that awful...
there's a pharmacy college right there....DMCG's pretty tiny....3rd years stay for half the year and then clinicals start and you don't go to college anymore, everything's at the hospitals: 3 government hospitals.
each class is max 65 students big
it's an integrated system, not in first year though....and not so much in second year either....but 3rd year finals are comprehensives...so like, 1 whole exam on CNS with all the subjects...
oh and they give you notes at college...so in the end you don't really need to study from books...
1st and 2nd years have research/review articles....which you can present at the conferences if you want
if you have any questions feel free to ask... =)

Hey, this is so easy, just google it.

My sis graduated from there , It's not the kind of college that you come all the way from the US to study in , but it's good for thoose who live in the UAE , and you will finish one earlier if you study there ( it takes 4 years for pharmacy and 5 years for medicine , while other univirsities in the UAE take 5 years for pharmacy and 6 years for medicine )
But remember ; no activities at all

I think you need to consider a big culture adjustment if you are planning to study there because there's really a big difference compared to the Western culture.

When my sis applied about 5 years ago there was no test , and the interview was pretty much simple , why do you want to become a doctor ?? Why our college ?? They also asked her about us (( her family )) , he asked her how is her connection with us ?? Do you argue alot ?? (( she found this q really Weird for a college admission interview )) , and that's about it .
Try to show a really strong but kind personality , the guy who interviewed her praticularly told her : (( honestly your high school grades are not the best , there are other girls with much better grades , But i liked your personality so i will lett you get in )) . She graduated a year ago and now working in a pharmacy.

Good luck .
Any help , i'm ready (;

I briefly visited this school in person and was so disappointed. It looked like an episode of "Romper Room". The ambiance was childish. The school looked creepy as though it was full of male perverts. Doesn't it bother any of you DMC students? The staff wasn't friendly, especially the Dean's Secretary.

Yes I do want to become a doctor. But I'm from south Africa not UAE or gulf so I thought I might have to write an entrance exam. N well I chose dmc coz I'm Muslim n my parents would prefer a girls college and I think it's the only girls medical school. N I'm used to a lot of rules
Okay well I sTart grade 12 this month so should I start applying or do I have to wait for my finaL exam results.
N I don't mean to sound boastful but my grades are good.

Sorry for taking so long to reply but I honestly rarely check this forum.
I think admission starts in June, that's when my sister applied. High schools in the UAE finish in June so that's when all of the universities in the UAE start their admissions process. I believe there is no early admission but you need to check for that cuz Iam honestly not sure at all.
Good luck, feel free to ask any further questions but please PM me your questions as I rarely check the forum but if I got a PM i will be notified through Email.

Obviously I was wrong. DMCG requires either IELTS or TOEFL. When my sister applied she didn't need any, but recently they started requiring one of these exams. You should check the college's website. And there is an entrance exam in Biology and Chem (( really sorry for the wrong info, though when my sis applied none of these were needed)).

Check the requirements here :

As far as I know, admissions ended way back in July. I remember a couple of students who applied late last year, and they were put on a "waiting list". Basically you have to wait until a first year student no longer wishes to attend DMCG and you take her place. But from what I've heard, chances of that happening are a bit slim since some of the early applicants who didn't do as well in the exam and interview as those accepted are also in that waiting list, and they usually accept those first.
Do you have a backup plan? Another medical college you have been accepted to (ex: UOS, GMC, or RAK medical university?)
