All programs have proved to be very popular in the UAE and the broader region, with many healthcare professionals traveling long distances to participate. The MSc Degree programs are the only UAE-based Level 9 programs of their kind, accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA). The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland was granted a Charter on 11th February 1784. This Charter gave the College the power to control surgery and make provision for surgical education. Before that time, the surgeons were grouped with the barbers and the Barbers Surgeons Guild. The founders had no premises, so the earliest meeting was held in Dublin's boardroom of the Rotunda Hospital. Subsequently, a disused hall in Mercer Street beside Mercer's Hospital was acquired. The RCSI was established over 220 years ago and had a worldwide reputation for delivering excellent undergraduate and postgraduate education in the healthcare professions. Our programs are accredited by the National University of Ireland and by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) on behalf of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the UAE. Our mission is to develop your leadership and management capability, as well as that of your organization. While evidence-based, our courses focus on the practical implementation of theoretical concepts and models to solve real-world problems.
