Welcome to the College of Medicine at Dhofar University

Dear Future Healthcare Leaders,

It is with great pride that I welcome you to the College of Medicine at Dhofar University, where we are pioneering a new era of medical education.

As we prepare to welcome our first cohort in September 2025, our college embodies a vision of transformative healthcare education that will shape the future of medicine in Oman and the region.

Excellence Through Innovation

Our mission is clear: to educate compassionate, competent, and culturally sensitive physicians dedicated to improving community health and well-being. Located in southern Oman, our state-of-the-art new building features cutting-edge Learning Galleries, an advanced Clinical Skills and Simulation Center designed to create an immersive learning environment that bridges theory with practice. Such is consolidated with bed-side clinical training in Sultan Qaboos and Nizwa hospitals.

Community-Centered Education

Our educational philosophy emphasizes community engagement and cultural humility. Through our partnership with Sultan Qaboos University’s College of Medicine and Health Sciences, students benefit from regional expertise while our diverse faculty provide international perspectives for global healthcare challenges.

In alignment with Oman Vision 2040, we develop healthcare leaders equipped to navigate modern medicine’s evolving landscape. We embrace diversity and create an inclusive environment where students from all backgrounds can achieve their full potential.

Your Journey Begins Here

To our prospective students, imagine learning alongside passionate peers, guided by inspiring mentors, and practicing in facilities that mirror real hospitals and clinics where you will one day heal communities.

This is more than education—it is a calling to serve with compassion, lead with integrity, and innovate with purpose. Together, we will build a legacy of healthcare excellence that honors the trust of our patients and communities.

Welcome to your future in medicine.
