Sana’a University Leadership Oversees Clinical Oral Examinations at Kuwait University Hospital
SANA’A – April 14, 2026
As part of a continuous commitment to academic oversight and clinical excellence, the leadership of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Sana’a University conducted a field inspection today to monitor the progress of Oral Clinical Examinations. The exams are currently being held across several premier teaching hospitals, including Al-Thawra Modern General Hospital, Al-Gomhouri Teaching Hospital, and Kuwait University Hospital.
The inspection was led by Prof. Mohammed Al-Shehari, the Faculty Dean, accompanied by Prof. Anwar Al-Mughalles, Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs and Hospitals; Dr. Mohammed Al-Qaisi, Vice Director of Kuwait University Hospital; and Mr. Marwan Al-Mikhlafi, Secretary of the Faculty of Medicine.
The delegation reviewed the organizational workflow and disciplinary standards within the clinical departments of Kuwait University Hospital. During the visit, they received detailed briefings from examination committees regarding the assessment rubrics and the standardized criteria used to evaluate student performance.
The current examination cycle involves final-year (Level 6) medical students from two distinct cohorts:
– Batch 37 (Medicine and Surgery): Clinical and oral assessments commenced last Saturday.
– Batch 38 (Internal Medicine): Examinations began this past Sunday.
These assessments are a critical component of the 2026 academic year final exams, serving as the definitive evaluation of clinical skills and practical application for graduating medical students.
During the tour, Dean Al-Shehari emphasized the Faculty’s dedication to providing a supportive environment that allows students to demonstrate their diagnostic and analytical capabilities. He praised the commitment of the organizing committees and the consultant professors involved in the evaluation process.
“Clinical oral exams are a vital tool for measuring student competency,” stated Dean Al-Shehari. “They evaluate the student’s ability to analyze complex cases and interact professionally with patients in real-world scenarios—skills that are essential for their successful transition into the medical workforce.”
The Dean further noted that Sana’a University is actively modernizing its medical education system, particularly in clinical training. This strategy involves strengthening partnerships with teaching hospitals and updating evaluation mechanisms to align with modern international academic standards.
The visit underscored the high level of coordination between the university and its partner hospitals, ensuring that the next generation of medical professionals meets the rigorous standards required to enhance the quality of healthcare services in the region.
