The Harvard Medical School Dubai Center
is part of a group of organizations committed to the advancement
of health care delivery, medical education, and research in
Dubai and the Gulf Region.
It was created in 2004 in a joint effort by then-Harvard Medical International (now Partners Harvard Medical International) and Dubai Healthcare City.
HMSDC’s continuing medical education programs
and postgraduate training programs benefit from the contributions
of the faculty of Harvard Medical School and its affiliated
institutions. These programs are funded in part by the endowment
created and managed by the Dubai Harvard Foundation for Medical
Research.
Dubai
Harvard Foundation for Medical Research
The Dubai Harvard Foundation for Medical Research was created
to support biomedical research and academic programs that
will advance new scientific knowledge and create a community
of leaders in science and medicine in the Middle East.

Harvard Medical School (HMS) is one of the world's preeminent
institutions in medical education and research. The School,
established in 1782, has over 8,500 faculty and draws upon
the resources of 18 affiliated hospitals and research institutes

Partners Harvard
Medical International
The organization now known as Partners Harvard Medical International (PHMI) was founded originally as Harvard Medical International, a self-supporting subsidiary of Harvard University and Harvard Medical School. Since its inception in 1994, the organization has played a major role in the development of health and education infrastructure globally.

The organization became Partners Harvard Medical International in the spring of 2008 under the terms of a new agreement between Harvard University and Partners HealthCare, a leading academic health care network that includes Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham & Women’s Hospital, two of the flagship teaching affiliates of Harvard Medical School.
