A comprehensive set of operational measures to ensure uninterrupted learning are in place to provide quality education to students at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) – Medical University of Bahrain.
University president Professor Sameer Otoom said, in response to the current circumstances, they have set plans to ensure continuity of education while safeguarding the well-being of its community.
He emphasised that the continuity achieved across the different sectors is a testament to the kingdom’s enduring commitment to national security and stability under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad, with the close oversight of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, who has affirmed that the safety of the nation and its people remains paramount.
Mr Otoom added the university acted swiftly to activate its operational plans, ensuring the continued delivery of its academic programmes online to the highest standards.
The safety of students, alongside academic and administrative staff, was placed at the forefront of all measures, while teaching progressed seamlessly through a comprehensive distance-learning model, enabling continuity of study and sustained academic support.
He further highlighted that academic and administrative teams, in co-ordination with colleagues in Dublin, continue to work in a sustained manner to support students and ensure the uninterrupted delivery of teaching, alongside providing health and well-being support.
Mr Otoom added that the university remains in close engagement with its partners and stakeholders, working collaboratively towards shared goals, while maintaining clear and timely communication with students through official channels, including regular programme-specific updates to support clarity and academic assurance during this period.
