Welcome to the Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences
|
 Thank you for
your interest in the Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences (FAMS) at Jordan
University of Science and Technology. There are so many exciting and fulfilling
initiatives taking place in our faculty as we achieve excellence in our
missions of education, research, patient care and service to community. The diverse
faculty and student body and strong international student and faculty exchange
made our programs to earn a national and international reputation. I can say
with complete conviction that what makes our college exceptional are the
faculty and staff who are dedicated to help our aspiring students to become the
compassionate, highly skilled health-care providers of tomorrow. The faculty is
deeply committed to educating outstanding students to become skilled caregivers
and leaders in their fields who will, in turn, change the lives of the patients
and families they serve in our local and national communities. In the faculty
of AMS, we provide teaching and instruction for a range of health service
careers. The faculty has four departments namely Department of Rehabilitation
Sciences, Department of Allied Medical Sciences, Department of Medical
laboratory Sciences, and Department of Allied Dental Sciences. We provide education
and training for our students in the bachelor and master levels in 9 different
health specialties.
In the
Department Of Rehabilitation Sciences, we offer bachelor degrees in
Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Audiology, and Audiology
and Speech Pathology combined. In the Department of Allied Medical Sciences,
the bachelor degrees offered include Optometry, Radiologic Technology, and
Paramedics. In these departments, we foster critical thinking skills and strive
to teach students how to provide a well-thought assessment and treatment
methods. Through this dynamic interplay, students learn how caring and
compassionate leaders can use their skills to make their communities a better
place.
The history
of the Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences goes back to 1986 with the
Establishment of Jordan University of Science and Technology, where the
department was hosted by The Faculty of Medicine. The undergraduate and
graduate programs in this department enhanced the quality and reputation of
higher education in the country through cooperation with other higher education
institutions and well recognized hospitals and promoted quality standards in
the field of clinical medical laboratory technology.
Our Allied
Dental Sciences programs prepare the student for work as a valuable member of
the dental health care team and for diverse career opportunities. In order to
expose students to the most modern equipment and advanced treatment techniques,
the department became highly equipped with the updated dental technology to
meet the challenges in these health professions. Our department of Allied
Dental Sciences offers two programs in Allied Dental Sciences and Dental
Technology. Moreover, this department is providing preventive, educational and
therapeutic services to the public.
We encourage you to visit the JUST
campus and meet the faculty and we are quite confident that our programs will meet
your professional and scientific aspirations.
