Vice Deanship of the College of Nursing
The UQU College of Nursing used to be one of the departments of the College of Applied Medical Sciences. On Rajab 4, 1430H, the Higher Education Council issued resolution no. 3/1430, separating the department, to be an independent college, under the name: the College of Nursing. Later on, in the academic year 1432-1433H, the Department of Nursing was separated from the College of Applied Medical Sciences to constitute an independent college, with Dr. Ayman Jawaherji as its first dean (in Rabea' al-Awwal 1433H). Thereupon, the college's four vice-deanships were formed. They are: the Vice-Deanship of Nursing, the Vice-Deanship for Academic Affairs, the Vice-Deanship for Post-graduate Studies and Research, and the Vice-Deanship for Hospital Affairs.
