Advanced Pre-Med Internship Programme
A five-day intensive programme designed for ambitious students who are serious about pursuing medicine. Hosted at Dubai Medical University (DMU) and guided by university faculty and senior medical students, this immersive experience places students at the centre of complex clinical scenarios using high-fidelity simulation technology.
Step Into the Doctor’s Seat
Gain deeper exposure to the science, systems, and reasoning behind real clinical practice through a structured, high-intensity programme built for aspiring future doctors. This is not a classroom workshop. It is structured, applied medical training designed to mirror how doctors learn.
Your Journey in Advanced Clinical Practice
Over five days, students lead eight high-fidelity simulations across multiple specialities. They manage emergencies, make real-time decisions, communicate with patients and teams, and participate in structured debriefs that mirror real medical training environments.
- 23rd MarchEmergency Medicine & Acute Care
Students begin in the emergency simulation suite, triage prioritisation, and structured emergency workflows. The afternoon features multi-casualty and acute cardiac simulations, with rotating leadership roles and detailed clinical debriefs focused on reasoning under pressure.
- 24th MarchSurgical Skills & Theatre Experience
The surgical day develops sterile technique, suturing mastery, and operating theatre protocols within DMU’s skills lab. Students conduct pre-operative assessments and manage an intra-operative crisis simulation, strengthening communication, consent discussions, and real-time decision-making.
- 25th MarchPaediatric Medicine & Child Health
Students adapt clinical assessment for neonates, infants, and adolescents, recognising red flags and safeguarding concerns. The day includes a febrile child simulation, paediatric BLS certification training, and an adolescent mental health case exploring confidentiality and risk assessment.
- 26th MarchObstetrics, Gynaecology & Women's Health
This day explores antenatal care pathways, pregnancy complications, and professional conduct in sensitive examinations. Students manage a labour ward emergency simulation and engage in interactive women’s health case discussions spanning reproductive health, contraception, and gynaecological conditions.
- 27th MarchClinical Integration, Specialty Exposure & Career Planning
The final day integrates emergency, surgical, medical, and communication skills in a complex multi-system simulation led by students. The programme concludes with specialty exposure sessions, a medical school applications workshop, structured reflection, and certification.
Tangible Outcomes for Medical School Applications
Students leave with: Official certification, a personalised development plan, a structured medical school applications workshop, and clear portfolio-ready experiences to discuss in interviews
What You’ll Learn
Advanced Simulation Training
Work inside DMU’s high-fidelity simulation labs using professional-grade equipment. Manage deteriorating patients, respond to emergencies, and practice coordinated team responses in realistic hospital-style settings.
Complex Case Management
Engage in multi-layered patient cases that require differential diagnosis, prioritisation of investigations, and treatment planning. Students must analyse symptoms, interpret findings, and make time-sensitive decisions.
Clinical Reasoning Under Pressure
Strengthen your ability to think clearly and act decisively in dynamic scenarios. Emphasis is placed on communication, teamwork, delegation, and structured problem-solving.
Structured Debrief & Feedback
Every simulation concludes with guided reflection led by faculty and senior medical students. Students learn how to evaluate their performance — just as real medical trainees do.
