Alexandria University Faculty of Medicine

What Alexandria University Faculty of Medicine does

Alexandria University Faculty of Medicine (كلية الطب – جامعة الإسكندرية) is the medical faculty of Alexandria University, a public Egyptian governmental university located in the Smouha medical complex in Alexandria, Egypt. Established in 1942, the faculty delivers undergraduate medical education through four parallel programs: the National Program (since 1942), the International Program (since 2006), the French-language program, and the Manchester Program (since 2021, aligned with the University of Manchester curriculum). It also offers postgraduate master's, doctorate, and professional diploma programs across all clinical and academic specialties. The faculty operates an extensive research infrastructure anchored by the Medical Research Center (MRC) and the Center of Excellence for Research in Regenerative Medicine and Applications (CERRMA), the latter being a 600 square meter GMP-specification facility built by Swiss firm Innovative Medical Advances and certified in June 2025 as the Egyptian Chapter of the American Board of Regenerative Medicine.

The faculty is organized into approximately 20 clinical departments (anesthesia, cardiology, dermatology, surgery, oncology, ophthalmology, etc.) plus academic departments (anatomy, biochemistry, histology, microbiology, parasitology, pharmacology), supported by eight specialized laboratories: CERRMA, Proteomics (with Bruker MALDI-TOF/TOF), Genomics Research Lab (integrating AI for precision medicine), HPLC, AAS, Molecular Biology, Common Facility Laboratory (ELISA-based), and MRC umbrella services. Revenue derives from government-subsidized tuition across the National Program, tuition from the International, French, and Manchester Programs, clinical and hospital services from attached Alexandria University Hospitals, and research-related funding. The faculty also runs a community-service program of medical convoys reaching underserved villages across Alexandria and Beheira Governorates, in partnership with charitable foundations, Rotary Clubs, the National Council for Women, and student-led initiatives. Leadership is provided by Dean Prof. Dr. Tamer Abdullah Helmy Gomaa, supported by three vice-deans covering education and student affairs, graduate studies and research, and community service and environmental development.
