The College of Applied Medical Sciences was established by Higher Education Council Resolution No. 1430/55/12 AH, dated 19/7/1430 AH, and Royal Approval No. (4465/M B) dated 28/5/1431 AH. It thus became independent from the College of Medicine and became one of the active and distinguished colleges of the University of Hail. Applied Medical Sciences specializations are considered strategic disciplines that contribute effectively to the advancement of healthcare. Therefore, the University of Hail established a dedicated college for these specializations. The College of Sciences began with four programs: Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Diagnostic Radiology, Physical Therapy, and Clinical Nutrition.

The college contributes to improving healthcare services for Saudi society by developing globally competitive professionals in applied medical fields and fosters a stimulating environment for learning, innovation, and research. The college is a scientific institution that contributes to building a knowledge society. It offers four undergraduate programs: Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Diagnostic Medical Radiology, Physical Therapy, and Clinical Nutrition, in addition to bridging programs that allow diploma holders to obtain bachelor's degrees in all four specializations. The college's programs are accredited by international accreditation bodies, specifically the Nutrition, Physical Therapy, Radiology, and Laboratory Sciences programs, which are accredited by the German international accreditation body AHPGS. All college programs emphasize practical and applied learning based on evidence-based scientific knowledge, and the college is committed to promoting the value of... The college fosters self-directed learning, critical and creative thinking, and encourages scientific research stemming from community needs. It promotes collaboration among various health disciplines, cultivates a professional identity and commitment, and boasts a distinguished faculty across all specialties, contributing to the enrichment of the university's academic and intellectual life.
Following the university's restructuring, the college now comprises five academic departments: Diagnostic Radiology, Physical Therapy, Clinical Laboratories, Clinical Nutrition, and Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (a newly established department).
