Hashemite University Faculty of Medicine Zarqa

The medical faculty is housed within the modern Ibn Sina Medical Complex, providing a self-contained environment for medical education.

• Clinical Skills Education and Testing Center (CSETC): An award-winning facility featuring high-fidelity mannequins and simulation labs that bridge the gap between classroom theory and clinical practice.
• Digital Anatomy Rooms: Advanced labs utilizing virtual dissection and 3D imaging technology.
• Medical Education Center: The first hub of its kind in Jordan, focused on clinical instructor training and education research.
• Specialized Medical Library: Located within the Ibn Sina complex, offering extensive electronic resources, academic databases, and quiet study spaces.
• Research Laboratories: Dedicated spaces for funded research projects in genomics, molecular pathology, and cancer treatment.
• Smart Campus Features: Wi-fi coverage across the medical complex and "smart classrooms" equipped with interactive learning tools.
• Center for Disabilities: Provides assistive devices, Braille printers, and sign language interpreters to ensure inclusivity for medical students with disabilities.
• On-Campus Bank & Post Office: Essential services like the Cairo Amman Bank and Jordan Post are available directly on the university grounds.
• Student Halls: Social hubs and seminar halls designed for singing, music, and art exhibitions to balance the rigorous academic schedule.
• Sustainable Energy: The university is 100% energy independent, powered by its own 5 MWp solar grid-connected project.

As HU does not have a single university-owned hospital, it operates through a robust network of affiliated teaching hospitals:

• Prince Hamzah Hospital (Amman): A major training site where faculty members provide both diagnostic and therapeutic services.
• Zarqa Governmental Hospital: Serves as a primary clinical hub due to its proximity to the campus.
• Royal Medical Services (Military Hospitals): Students rotate through prestigious military facilities, gaining exposure to a diverse range of complex cases.
• Ministry of Health Hospitals: Wide-ranging exposure to community health and primary care across various regional centers.

Fees vary significantly between the Competitive Track (for local Jordanians) and the International Track.
