Welcome to the Academic Year 2026–2027

Dear Students,

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend a warm welcome to all new and returning students of Fakeeh College for Medical Sciences (FCMS) as we begin the academic year 2026–2027. The opening of a new academic year is an occasion of renewed purpose and anticipation, bringing fresh opportunities to deepen your knowledge and advance towards your professional aspirations.

To our new students, I offer my sincere congratulations on joining the College. You are entering an academic community in which intellectual curiosity is encouraged, individual endeavour is valued, and learning is enriched by the exchange of ideas. May you approach this important chapter with confidence, an open mind, and a readiness to discover the breadth of your abilities.

To our returning students, welcome back. You bring experience, growing expertise, and a valuable sense of continuity to our community. I encourage you to build upon your achievements, reflect thoughtfully on the lessons of the past year, and extend a generous welcome to those beginning their studies alongside you.

The vibrant environment of FCMS is sustained by the participation of its students and the dedication of its academic and professional community. I invite you to engage fully in College life: contribute to academic discussions, explore research and innovation, participate in student activities, and seek opportunities to serve the wider community. The friendships and professional relationships you develop here will enrich both your education and your future practice.

Education in the medical and health sciences carries a profound responsibility. Alongside scientific understanding and clinical competence, it demands sound judgement, integrity, and respect for human dignity. As you progress through your studies, let compassion inform your decisions and let the wellbeing of those you will one day serve remain central to your ambitions.

I offer my profound appreciation to the Deanship of the College, our faculty members, and all administrative, technical, and support staff for their unstinting dedication to our students. Your generous guidance, patient encouragement, and sustained commitment to an enriching educational environment help our students to excel and distinguish themselves among their peers across our beloved Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Board of Trustees deeply values your contribution to their academic achievement and professional development.

To our students, I encourage you to make full use of this support, pursue your goals with discipline, and care for your wellbeing. On behalf of my fellow Trustees, I wish you a rewarding and highly successful academic year. May 2026–2027 bring intellectual growth, meaningful friendships, and achievements that prepare you to serve our beloved country with distinction. Welcome to FCMS, and to a year of purposeful learning and shared accomplishment.

With every good wish,

Chair of the Board of Trustees
Dr Mazen S. Fakeeh
