As part of the collaboration, the UIC team, led by Anwar Jebran, MD, a clinical informatics fellow, traveled to Morocco to help lead one of Africa’s first clinical informatics conferences and workshops for more than 130 medical students and faculty. This collaboration comes at a time when Morocco is beginning to digitize its healthcare system, and as a result of the partnership, UMP’s medical college is planning to develop a clinical informatics curriculum.
“We are excited about the partnership between UMP and UIC and looking forward to a long-term collaboration in the field of research, student exchange, professors exchange, and more,” said the UMP President Yassine Zarhloule, PhD.
