More than 120 pre-university students from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United States, who aspire to pursue careers in medicine, took part in Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar’s (WCM-Q) Doctors of the Future Conference.
The annual conference is open to students, teachers and school counsellors from Qatar and beyond and is designed to give pre-university students a chance to visit WCM-Q’s state-of-the-art campus, learn about the college’s world-class educational programs and discover the wide range of career opportunities available in medicine. This year’s edition was held online.
The event featured the qualifying round of the High School Research Competition, in which 15 teams from 14 schools presented their research posters before a judging panel composed of WCM-Q faculty, researchers and medical students. The top teams advanced to the final round, after which the top three teams were announced. Participating students also joined a panel discussion on applying to medical school, along with a quiz session.
