The College Of Applied Medical Sciences - Al Ahsa (COAMS-A) was established in 2013. It is one of several health colleges encompassed by King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences. The Saudi Government set a priority objective of improving the quality of life of the people of the kingdom and healthcare is a basic need of the individual and consequently the expectation for excellent healthcare services. Saudi manpower in this specialty is limited and lags far behind international figures. This imposes great pressure on COAMS-A to graduate applied medical sciences professionals to fill in this wide gap. COAMS-A mission is comprehensive, its vision ambitious, its goals challenging, and its core values unambiguous. The comprehensive and ambitious mission of the college is in line with the mission of King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences which aims ”to achieve global leadership in health professions education with commitment to excellence in research, patient care, and community service.
