Qatar based Sidra Medicine has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies (DI) for mutual exchange of knowledge, expertise, research and studies.
The MoU is the first partnership to stem from Sidra Medicine’s new Externship Programme with the aim of supporting the healthcare organisation’s medical education and learning and development strategies. DI will nominate students to join the specially designed programme that will support the students training and internship requirements as part of their curriculum.
The MoU will also provide Sidra Medicine clinicians and researchers to consider voluntary faculty appointments and teaching opportunities within the fields of psychology and social work at the Doha Institute. Sidra Medicine currently offers mental health services for children and young people as well as perinatal mental health care services for women. Its social workers support across the spectrum of care to offer counsel and advice to patients and their families.
