Dr. Al-Yousuf is now the medical director of reproductive surgery at Sidra Medicine, Dr. Al Khelaifi is a sports orthopedic surgeon at Aspetar, and Dr. Becetti is a rheumatologist at Hamad Medical Corporation. Finally, the high school teachers and counselors were able to benefit from professional development workshops in a number of topics including ‘Mastery Learning in the Physical Sciences’, ‘Critical Reading and Writing’, and ‘Preparing Biology Students for the Transition to University’.
It is intended that the conference will become an annual event, bringing together highly motivated students aspiring to become the next generation of medical leaders. Although the main focus of the conference is raising awareness about the careers that medicine has to offer, science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will remain a fundamental core that will enhance and support the national economy. The conference also presents a great platform to engage educators across these various disciplines to achieve an integrated
approach for students and prepare them for the future.
