The Healing Hands essay contest, which is run by the Office of Student Outreach and Educational Development at WCM-Q, is open to Qatari students in grades 10 and 11. 53 essays were submitted in this cycle, making it the highest number of qualifying essays since the inception of the Healing Hands competition in 2008. Student, Sultan al-Malki said: “The scholarship trip was really an excellent experience, I gained a lot of insight into what life as a medical student, a doctor and a researcher would be like. I think the most rewarding part of the trip for me was visiting the laboratories and seeing how the equipment there works.”
