The award was collected by Professor Chie Adachi, Dean for Digital Education and Naomi McDonald, Head of Business Development at Queen Mary, Malta Campus.
Professor Chie Adachi, Dean for Digital Education, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, said: "At Queen Mary we are working to challenge the traditional curriculum of medical education through a 'digital-first' lens and remove the artificial barrier between 'in-person' and 'online' education. This allows us to incorporate the latest technology to provide our students with the flexibility that they need and prepare them for the future work of medicine as doctors in a post-digital world. We hope to create new opportunities and learning experiences that would be otherwise impossible. This Excellence in Digital Health Education Award could not have come at a better time as we are engaged in creating multiple firsts in digital education which we will be announcing in the near future."
Professor Anthony Warrens, Dean for Education, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, said: "This year we are celebrating the "Barts 900", a very significant milestone anniversary for Queen Mary, and we are more than delighted to have the ongoing innovation of our medical and learning development recognised with this prestigious Med-Tech award in Malta."
Queen Mary's presence at Med-Tech forms part of a wider strategy to develop the Malta Campus. Speaking at Med-Tech, Naomi McDonald, Head of Business Development at Queen Mary, Malta Campus, said: "Our Malta Campus is perfectly positioned to act as an enterprise hub in Europe as we navigate the intersection of medicine and technology. MedTech is firmly on our agenda for ongoing strategic development, and this will bring added value not just for Queen Mary but to our many gifted students who are actively pursuing this sector of medicine, both as healthcare professionals and business entrepreneurs in their own right."
