Graduate Medical Education Programs
Sidra Medicine’s Graduate Programs are one of the most critical functions
of our Medical Education Office. This division is responsible for overseeing
and managing residency and fellowship postgraduate training programs across
Sidra Medicine’s clinical management groups. The division is responsible
for setting the governance structure for residency and fellowship programs.
It also ensures training programs align with international medical education
training standards and patient care is delivered to the highest quality
and standards.
Sidra Medicine is recognized as a major Participating Site for Residents
and Fellows enrolled in Pediatrics Residency and Fellowship Training Programs.
We provide a wide range of pediatric subspecialty training programs that

also offers opportunities to engage in research projects when joining
our residency and fellowship training programs.

The Graduate Medical Education Division offers faculty development programs
for Sidra Medicine doctors, clinical educators, and healthcare professionals
contributing to the teaching and education of medical students, residents,
and fellows. The Faculty Development Program aims to enhance the clinical
teaching skills of doctors and clinical educators working closely with
GME and UME programs. These train faculty on assessment tools and effective
and constructive feedback techniques which ultimately improve the educational
experience and of medical trainees at Sidra Medicine.
The Faculty Development Program prepares and orients program directors
and faculty on international accreditation processes and how to align
training curriculum with desired accreditation standards.
