“The Academy” By MedLabs Signs a Cooperation Agreement with Knowledge Beam Information Systems

“The Academy by MedLabs”, (Al-Aseel Academy for Human Resources Training and Development), recently signed a cooperation agreement with Knowledge Beam Information Systems to establish a Learning Management System (Moodle LMS). This will enable the Academy to centrally organize and manage courses and educational activities, coordinate distance learning services, and provide communication tools such as forums, instant messaging, and chat rooms. Additionally, it offers important features like reporting and analytics, as well as file and educational resource management.

The agreement was signed by Dr. Manar Agha Al-Nimer, Chairman of the Board of The Academy by MedLabs, and Ms. Sarah Qafqaf, Deputy GM of Knowledge Beam. The signing ceremony was held at MedLabs’ headquarters in Amman. The agreement includes coordination between both parties in the implementation of the Learning Management System, which will positively impact the Academy’s performance by leveraging all the features that make the LMS a powerful tool for enhancing and facilitating the educational process.

This collaboration aligns with MedLabs’ commitment to supporting education and training, and its belief in the importance of equipping students of The Academy by MedLabs with effective tools and systems that form the cornerstone of education. The Academy aims to provide students, professionals, and job seekers with the necessary technical and life skills in the field of medical laboratories for a productive and impactful career that earns the appreciation of both patients and employers. Among the Academy’s other objectives is to increase employment opportunities and the demand for highly skilled Jordanian professionals in the local and regional markets.

Dr. Manar Agha Al-Nimer, Chairman of the Board of The Academy by MedLabs, emphasized the importance of cooperation between the two parties and how it aligns with the academy’s strategy to build fruitful partnerships with service providers and modern technology companies, saying “This will enhance the quality of training and education provided by The Academy to achieve the best interests of professionals and serve the local and regional laboratory sector and job market”. She added: “We believe education is the gateway to unlimited potentials, self-development and knowledge, which is in line with The Academy’s goals of leveraging the medical laboratory science profession and its practitioners”.

 

About The Academy by MedLabs: 

The idea to create The Academy by MedLabs was sparked in 2015 when MedLabs, the largest employer of medical laboratory technologists in Jordan, began to notice that young graduates joining various healthcare institutions were not fully prepared for the jobs they were starting, whether in terms of technical or capacity building skills. 

They were inspired to find a way to bridge the knowledge gap and provide the next generation with the skills they need to enter the workforce. Thus, The Academy by MedLabs was created. This academy, which was partially funded by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), offers educational courses on the basics of laboratory medicine, communication skills, and other fundamental medical laboratory and patient care courses in a face-to-face and online format, in addition to practical application in a training laboratory designated for this purpose. The courses, designed by The Academy, are endorsed by the Jordan University where a second Academy training lab will be set up as well.

The Academy aims to provide students, medical technologists, and job seekers with the necessary technical and human skills in the field of medical laboratories for a productive and effective career path appreciated by patients and employers. Among the academy’s other goals is to increase employment opportunities and demand for highly qualified Jordanian professionals for the local and regional market, with a special focus on a female workforce, through a team of experienced teaching specialists and the Academy’s modern, equipped facilities located in the heart of Amman.

MedLabs Laboratories is the largest group of medical laboratories in Jordan and the region, with more than 600 laboratory technicians working in more than 70 branches across five countries. MedLabs Laboratories is the only lab company in the Kingdom to have all of its 60 branches in Jordan accredited by the Healthcare Accreditation Council (HCAC) with a degree of distinction for each branch.
