Medical Surgical Nursing

The Department of Medical Surgical Nursing at the Kulliyyah of Nursing, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is the core department responsible for teaching and supervising adult nursing courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. We are committed to excellence in nursing education, training, and research, supporting the Kulliyyah’s vision through eleven (11) disciplines (cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, neurological, hemopoietic, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, special sense, and fundamental nursing). The department upholds high training and practice standards, guided by professional ethics. Since its establishment in 2013, it has recruited experts from diverse disciplines to enhance learning and expertise.

Our expert faculty consists of 15 Ph.D. holders and one master’s degree lecturer, ensuring high academic and professional standards. We offer specialized elective courses in Orthopaedic Nursing Rehabilitation, Smoking Cessation, and Stoma Care, with more courses introduced based on demand. At the postgraduate level, we offer the Master of Advanced Nursing Practice (MAP) in Renal Care, with plans for further program expansion. 

We emphasize evidence-based practice, critical thinking, and holistic patient care, equipping our graduates to lead in clinical practice, research, and community health. Guided by the Sejahtera Academic Framework (SAF), we strive to develop competent, ethical, and innovative nurses who contribute meaningfully to healthcare, both nationally and internationally.
