Research Center

The Ibn Sina National College Research Center (ISNC-RC), a multi-program research initiative, was initiated in 2014 by the Dean of ISNC under the executive authority entrusted to him by the Faculty Board. Extensive planning efforts have taken place since then, including development of a strategic plan. The ISNC-RC serves and is currently represented by four programs at the institution namely, Medicine, Clinical Pharmacy, Dentistry and Nursing Program.
