“The college is proud to partner with Aspetar in this agreement. The new partnership builds on the college’s commitment to prepare our students in the use of pharmaceuticals in sports-related cases.

“This year in alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030 we launched an elective course ‘Drugs in Sport’ to address this topic and are thrilled that our students will have the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of Aspetar’s sport medicine team in completing their clinical rotations” said Prof El Kadi.

Starting this June Aspetar will function as a training location for college students to enable them to put their theoretical learning into practice. As part of the training programme within the Bachelor’s degree pharmacy students will be able to complete one of the six required four-week clinical rotations at Aspetar Hospital.
