GMU sets a new benchmark for hands-on healthcare education in the Middle East

Gulf Medical University (GMU), part of Thumbay Group, has inaugurated the largest integrated network of clinical skills and simulation centres in the region. The launch brings six dedicated training facilities together under one roof at GMU’s Ajman campus, giving students across medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and allied sciences a single place to practice, in an error-forgiving environment, and master the skills that real patients depend on.

The network spans:

  • Thumbay Institute of Clinical Simulation
  • Thumbay Institute of Surgical Skills
  • Thumbay Dental Simulation
  • Thumbay Pharmacy Practice Lab (Simulation)
  • Thumbay Physiotherapy Skills Training Lab
  • Thumbay Veterinary Clinical Skills Lab (Coming soon)
  • Thumbay Simulation Centre Dubai (Coming Soon)

Beyond serving GMU’s own students, the network is being positioned as an open reference point for other simulation centres across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Universities, hospitals, and training institutions planning to build or expand their own facilities are invited to study the GMU model, tour the centres, and explore knowledge-sharing partnerships.
