cardiopulmonary simulation manikin that mimics various heart and respiratory conditions. To ensure students are well-rounded, the programs included sessions on presentation skills, writing personal statements, interview techniques, and time management. Additionally, students had the opportunity to meet current WCM-Q students and learn about student-run organizations such as the Plastic Surgery Interest Group and the Psychiatry Interest Group. The programs were concluded with a ceremony where all participants received certificates of completion. The closing event also recognized the winners of the JO Achievement Award, Excellence Award, and Best Presentation Award for students who showed the most marked improvement during the program.
Director of pre-medical administration, student outreach and educational development at WCM-Q, Noha Saleh, said she was
thrilled to see how these summer programs had gained popularity since WCM-Q began offering them in 2008, adding that It
was wonderful to see the students eager to learn new things especially in sciences. She expressed her pride to showcase
potential career paths in various medical specialties, research, and education that these students can choose from.
For his part, Associate Dean for foundation, student outreach and educational development programs at WCM-Q, Dr. Rachid
Bendriss, said It had been incredible seeing pre-college students yearning to learn about new concepts. He added that the
programs imbued them with knowledge and skills that will benefit them not just in school, but in any environment they
encounter.
For their part, several participating students expressed their happiness at joining these two programs, which allowed them to
explore various medical majors and gain invaluable and accurate information about the application process for medical schools,
as well as other essential and important life skills.
They praised the unwavering support provided by faculty members and college students throughout the programs. (QNA)

Both programs provided the college-bound students with sessions that closely replicated the experiences of current WCM-Q
students through a series of lectures, clinical skills workshops, and basic lab sessions. Classes covered a wide range of subjects,
including biology, chemistry, anatomy, artificial intelligence in medicine, medical ethics, research, cardiology, and surgery.
Students also had a glimpse of WCM-Q's state-of-the-art Clinical Skills and Simulation Lab, where they were introduced to
standardized patients and learn basic life support and first aid techniques through various case scenarios. A highlight of the
program was the cardiology workshop, where students learned to identify heart sounds and were introduced to "Harvey," a
cardiopulmonary simulation manikin that mimics various heart and respiratory conditions.
To ensure students are well-rounded, the programs included sessions on presentation skills, writing personal statements,
