The members of the team in first place each received the Doctors of the Future Scholarship. Grade 12 student Maryam Al-Thani attends Vision International School Qatar. She said: "The conference has been a very interactive experience and I've gained a lot of insight into the curriculum at WCM-Q. Overall it has been great to see what life as a medical student is like and to feel how welcoming the community is here."
Her cousin, also named Maryam Al-Thani, is in grade 11 at American School Doha. She said: "I'm interested in medicine because I'm curious about physiology, psychology and the different biological processes that make life possible—I also like the fact that it is a career which allows for a lot of interaction with people. The conference has been really enjoyable and useful."
Noha Saleh, director of pre-medical administration, student outreach and educational development, said: "We are very pleased to be able to say that the newly expanded Doctors of the Future Conference truly built upon the success of our previous events, once again giving students from all over the world with an interest in medicine a wonderful opportunity to engage with WCM-Q."
Dr. Rachid Bendriss, Associate Dean for Foundation, Student Outreach and Educational Development Programs, said: "We were extremely gratified to see so many enthusiastic, talented young people at the Doctors of the Future Conference clearly enjoying learning how they can realize their dreams of building
careers in medicine with WCM-Q."
