Investigating the intersection of diabetes, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease, our MED 1 student, Ms Beisan Elatawna, gained hands-on research experience at Dasman Diabetes Institute.

During her internship, she presented findings on 'double diabetes,' monocyte-hepatocyte interactions, and the role of MMP-9 at the Institute's Poster Day.

This opportunity equipped her with practical expertise in cell culture, qRT-PCR, ELISA, and Western blotting, further sharpening her competencies in experimental design, data interpretation, and scientific communication.

Mr A***n Budkuley, a MED 5 student, recently completed a four-week summer research programme in pulmonology at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi.

Mr A***n contributed to a study conducted by the Pulmonology Institute investigating the genetic basis of Group 1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) among South Asian patients, aiming to identify genetic mutations and improve understanding of disease patterns.

Guided by Dr Khaled Saleh, he gained valuable insight into PAH, developed skills in interpreting medical test results and supported data collection and analysis. The experience strengthened his ability to work with large datasets and provided valuable exposure to clinical research.

Our MED 5 student, Ms Margherita Gabra set out to explore a new field with her elective in Thoracic Surgery at Guy’s Hospital in London, UK, under the guidance of Professor Andrea Billè MD, PhD, FRCS, Consultant in Thoracic Surgery at Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and Professor at King's College London.

Stepping into the operating theatre, she practised live knot-tying and suturing and discovered the technical world of robotic surgery. Ms Margherita also had the chance to participate in a simulation session at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, which integrated complex medical, surgical, and interpersonal scenarios that mirrored real-life unpredictability. This experience challenged her to adapt quickly and sharpen her clinical reasoning.

Reflecting on her journey, Margherita shares, “I entered this elective out of curiosity, but it completely reshaped my career plans. Thoracic surgery is now at the top of my list for future residency and subspecialty training.

More than 50 Clinical Mentors from Bahrain’s healthcare sector, including RCSI Bahrain alumni, took part in the workshop. The newly trained mentors will support our Nursing Year 4 students during their Semester 1 clinical placements.

The workshop explored practical approaches to assessing students’ clinical learning needs, providing effective feedback and supporting students in developing clinical competence. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of this training across our clinical teams.

Our SC1 student, Ms Hala AlOmar completed a four-week General Surgery elective at Leighton Hospital in the UK.

The placement offered valuable insight into multidisciplinary patient care, teamwork and continuous learning.

Ms Hala found the decision-making outside the operating theatre valuable, including how risks are explained and how the team contributes to patient plans. The experience helped her become comfortable in new environments, ask better questions and take responsibility for her own learning.

She encourages students to choose electives that challenge them, be curious, speak to people and engage fully with every opportunity.
