Medicine and Surgery Program

The Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program is regarded as one of the fundamental pillars upon which the University of Science and Technology (UST) was established in 1994, pursuant to the decision of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research No. (2/94). In its early years, the program was offered under the College of Medical Sciences, which also encompassed the Dentistry and Pharmacy programs. In 2011, a university decision was issued to separate these programs into independent colleges, leading to the establishment of the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, which has hosted the program ever since.

The program has undergone regular and systematic development processes. The first phase of development commenced in 2007, with a total of 300 credit hours, followed by the second phase in 2014, comprising 281 credit hours. The third phase was completed in 2023, reducing the total to 259 credit hours. This update was implemented in alignment with national and international academic accreditation standards.

The experience of the University of Science and Technology (UST) in Yemen—particularly through its Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program—represents a landmark in the history of medical higher education in the southern Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East. Studying this program requires an in-depth exploration of the academic and institutional transformations witnessed by Yemen since the mid‑1990s, a period marked by an urgent need to break the monopoly of public education and to establish private educational models capable of keeping pace with the rapid global advancement in medical sciences. This report provides a rigorous academic analysis of the historical trajectories, educational philosophies, and the ecosystem of achievements that have positioned the program as a significant force in regional and international medical training.

Foundation and Early Beginnings (1995):
Strategic significance: The launch of the first private medical department in Yemen as part of the College of Medical Sciences.
Institutional Independence (Late 1990s):
Strategic significance: The transformation of the college into an independent entity with a focused mandate on human medicine and health sciences.
Phase of Qualitative Expansion (2005–2015):
Strategic significance: The initiation of integrated curricula, alongside comprehensive modernization of laboratories and educational facilities.
International Accreditation Phase (2015–Present):
Strategic significance: Sustained efforts to obtain recognition from the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME).
In 2023, the program was awarded Gold Programmatic Academic Accreditation by the Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance Council, in accordance with the international standards of the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME), affirming its compliance with global benchmarks for medical education quality.
