Senior Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Implantology/Jordan Hospital
Ibn Sina University for Medical Sciences (ISUMS) is the first private medical university in Amman, capital city of Jordan. We are entering an era where dentists have the science, technology, and skills to manage their patients’ oral health more effectively than ever before. The School of Dental Medicine strives to integrate teaching, research, and clinical care at both the individual patient and community levels. The School’s administration is focused on providing an academic and clinical curriculum that anticipates shifting requirements for the delivery of optimal oral healthcare to a growing, diverse, 21st century patient population. Our DDS program is moving forward in this innovative frontier with basic science taught in an interprofessional setting that includes medical students. Our curriculum introduced a patient-centered comprehensive care model, meaning individual students provide their patients’ complete oral health care from start to finish. Because the profession of dentistry is benefiting from exploding advances in technology and materials, we have invested in digital dentistry that enables our students to achieve a functional familiarity with the most recent tools of their profession. While the School acknowledges its very strong obligation to serve the people of Jordan, it also assumes a broader, regional role providing educational opportunities for individuals around the globe.
The core aspiration that makes ISUMS School of Dental Medicine different from other dental schools is our commitment to strike a balance among technical excellence in dental education, scientific judgment in assessing the dental literature, and emotional intelligence that people expect in a doctor, such as being ethical, sympathetic, and caring in their relationships. ISUMS School of Dental Medicine is able to aspire to this goal because of three major assets:
1. Size: The School of Dental Medicine will be educating nearly 100-150 students a year providing unique resources which means increased opportunities for students leading to growth and development, including unparalleled leadership opportunities and real-world experience.
2. Location: ISUMS School of Dental Medicine’s Amman Capital City location, in the heart of the Middle East, enables students to explore and expand their potential by sharing ideas with people from around the region. Our location also allows us to leverage both the media and industry in ways that other schools cannot do, which, in turn, increases the luster of an ISUMS degree.
3. A Global brand: As part of the Partnership with George Washington University (GWU) and University of Texas Health San Antonio School of Dentistry (UTHSCSA) : ISUMS School of Dental Medicine students have virtually limitless opportunities to participate in public health initiatives in a global setting. For our students, this goes directly to the human dimension of doing something good with one’s life and will have a transformative impact on them.
Outstanding patient care is both a mission and point of excellence at the School of Dental Medicine. We intend to be an integral part of the public health safety net providing care for underserve populations. Our school will be where private medical and dental health care providers refer their most medically complex patients with oral health care needs. In these cases, the patients’ oral health directly and adversely affects their general health. These patients include those who are pre-and post-transplant, those undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, developmentally disabled children and adults, those living with immune compromised diseases, people with advanced and/or poorly controlled diabetes, patients with dementia, and persons living with certain genetic anomalies.
I am honored and proud to be Dean of the School of Dental Medicine. It is an exciting time for us, and I see great opportunities in all aspects of our mission. We are honored to serve our students, our patients, our dental community, and our region, and I hope that you share our pride in our values and accomplishments.
We extend a warm welcome to all future students, patients and visitors and invite you to learn more about Ibn Sina University for Medical Sciences School of Dental Medicine through the resources of this website.
