Thursday ,31 / July / 2025

In a move that reflects its continued commitment to academic quality and institutional development, Education & Training Evaluation Commission, represented by the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation (NCAAA), announced the full programmatic accreditation of the Medicine and Surgery and Nursing programs at Vision College in Riyadh. This comes following the successful transition of both programs from conditional accreditation to full accreditation, after the college fulfilled all nationally approved quality standards and requirements. This transformation marks a qualitative milestone in the college’s academic journey. It is the result of intensive development efforts that included the enhancement of academic plans, improvement of academic performance, and advancement of the clinical and laboratory learning environments. It also focused on aligning learning outcomes, strengthening assessment systems, and fostering the professional development of faculty members. The two programs underwent a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation conducted by expert teams from the NCAAA, which involved a thorough review of several key standards, including academic governance, curriculum quality, effectiveness of clinical training, program relevance to the healthcare labour market in Saudi Arabia, and the efficiency of academic and administrative student support services. The college affirmed that this achievement would not have been possible without the collective efforts and dedication of its academic and administrative teams, supported by a clear strategic vision aimed at establishing the college as a leading academic institution in the health education sector, committed to producing highly qualified national professionals both academically and professionally. Vision College in Riyadh is recognized as one of the leading private health colleges in the Kingdom, offering distinguished academic programs in medicine, dentistry, nursing, and midwifery, in accordance with the highest local and international standards. These programs align closely with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly in advancing higher education and the healthcare sector. Achieving full programmatic accreditation further strengthens the credibility of the college’s academic output and enhances graduates’ employability. It also opens the door to continuous program development and the creation of new academic and training pathways that are directly aligned with the evolving needs of the national healthcare system. The college remains committed to a path of institutional excellence and continuous improvement, placing quality and accreditation at the heart of its mission to prepare a new generation of skilled, competent, and dedicated healthcare professionals.
