Ninety-one Saudi doctors were recently accepted into the US National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) in the most reputed university hospitals such as Harvard, Cleveland, Cornell and Chicago, local media have reported.
Through the NRMP program, Saudi doctors will receive training and medical fellowship programs, according to officials.
Dr. Samar Al-Saggaf, director of Health Programs at the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM) in the US, said that this success is even more proof that young Saudis have great potential for creativity if they are provided with support in their professional endeavors.
She stressed that the successes achieved by the Health Programs would not have been possible without the support and guidance of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman.
“The aspirations of male and female Saudis doctors is limitless,” she noted.
Al-Saggaf revealed that they have signed agreements with 100 universities and hospitals in this regard, together with 300 heath cooperation agreements. Some 35 new agreements are also being processed, she said.
