ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENTS IN A SHORT TIME
Though our department is only five years old, we are very proud of what we have achieved in such a short time.
We have managed to upgrade nursing education in our country from vocational training to higher education spearheaded the move of nursing education from hospitals to colleges. We managed to deliver programs in full compliance with the European and American standards. Our students are offered quality education comparable to that offered to their peers in America and Europe. We have institutionalized nursing research and moving forward to leading our country in this domain. We are also engaging in serving our community, promoting our profession and cooperating with international partners.
WE PURSUE A DREAM
However, we still have a long way to go. Among all objectives set for us, perhaps the most significant is the development of qualified teaching staff coming from the nursing profession itself. We are looking forward to appointing the first Moroccan nurse to lead the institution, supported by a team of nurse professors all qualified at doctoral level. This dream will take five to seven years of hard work to realize. In the meanwhile, we are relying on highly competent team of medical professors, supported with visiting nursing professors from abroad as well as experienced nurses from Morocco.
WE STRIVE TO FULFILL OUR MISSION
We are striving also to bring about a quick improvement in the supply of nurses in Morocco. The shortage of qualified nurses in Morocco is troublesome and affecting every aspect of healthcare. We work hard to launch the nursing specialization program in september 2019, which is envisaged to bridge the qualitative shortage of specialized nurses and provide healthcare providers with what they utterly need. This program makes us practically responsible for producing the profession’s future leaders. Such a responsibility, though putting heavy burdens on our small shoulders, is met with a lot of enthusiasm and devotion from all of us in the department.
OUR COMMITMENT TO AFRICA, OUR CONTINENT
We are also determined to play a role in qualifying competent nurses for our African continent. We are establishing serious partnerships, devising workable solutions and developing cooperation programs with several nursing educational institutions. The goal is to empower them in playing in their country the same role we play in Morocco. In addition to technical support, we place a special emphasis on qualifying the teaching faculty of these institutions.
RELEVANT MISSION
We believe in the relevance of our college and the mission it has. Firstly, it helps redress the nursing shortage in quantitative and qualitative terms. Secondly, it plays a pioneer role in advancing nursing research, placing Morocco ahead of other countries in the region in that respect. Thirdly, it opens up the profession to young talented people wishing to pursue graduate and postgraduate nursing education. Last but not least, it offers new career opportunities for young people within the country and abroad.
