HOSMAC, a leading name in hospital planning, design, and management consultancy across Asia, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Gulf Medical University (GMU), Ajman, UAE. This significant academic-industry partnership aims to elevate healthcare education by seamlessly integrating real-world exposure with academic learning. Recognizing the growing demand for professionals who are both theoretically grounded and practically adept, the collaboration marks a forward-looking initiative to shape a new generation of healthcare leaders.
Under the terms of the MoU, HOSMAC will offer internships and short-term training programs to students from Thumbay College of Management and those pursuing specialized studies in Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare at GMU. These initiatives are crafted to provide students with immersive learning experiences in real-time healthcare infrastructure and management settings. Beyond just internships, HOSMAC will also contribute through its team of senior leaders and domain experts who will take on roles as guest lecturers and mentors. These professionals will guide students through live case studies and thesis work, sharing valuable insights drawn from years of experience in hospital design, operations, and strategy.
The partnership is not limited to student exposure; it also fosters collaborative research, development of innovative training modules particularly in AI applications in healthcare and faculty exchange programs. Such comprehensive engagement is intended to spark innovation, encourage interdisciplinary learning, and build capacity in emerging areas like AI-driven healthcare solutions. Through these activities, both institutions reaffirm their commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional healthcare education.
Dr. Vivek Desai, Founder and Managing Director of HOSMAC, emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating that the MoU represents a step toward developing future-ready professionals. He stressed the importance of combining academic instruction with hands-on understanding of the complexities involved in healthcare systems, highlighting the need for well-rounded talent in the evolving global healthcare landscape.
This MoU also reinforces an ongoing relationship between the two organizations. HOSMAC had earlier played a key role in designing the University Hospital at GMU, an advanced facility that successfully integrates clinical care, research, and academic functions symbolizing the very spirit of this collaboration.
