We are proud to share that Professor Jacob George, a valued SHARP Trustee and Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Dundee, has been honoured for his outstanding contributions to medical education in Ukraine.
Professor George was recently presented with an honorary professorship from Dnipro State Medical University in recognition of his efforts to support Ukrainian students and faculty during the ongoing conflict. Working in collaboration with colleagues at Dundee and beyond, he played a key role in developing innovative remote teaching solutions that enabled Ukrainian medical students to continue their education despite the challenges they faced.
This international partnership has not only ensured continuity in critical clinical training but also strengthened academic ties between the UK and Ukraine. The recognition highlights Professor George’s commitment to global health education and his leadership in responding to urgent humanitarian needs through academic collaboration.
His work is a powerful reminder of the impact that SHARP members and affiliates can have far beyond research - supporting resilience, hope, and the future of healthcare where it’s needed most.
