Middle and high school students from all over Qatar and the wider region attended ‘Medicine Unlimited, the flagship student recruitment and outreach event of Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) on November 11, 2017. More than 400 students and family members visited WCM-Q to tour the college’s state-of-the-art facilities, meet current students, faculty, researchers and staff, and engage with hands-on simulations of the workings of genes, molecules and the human body. Medicine Unlimited is designed to give middle and high school students a glimpse of the world of science and medicine, as well as the chance to explore whether a career as a healthcare professional, and training on WCM-Q’s world-class Six-Year Medical Program, would be a good fit for them. Faculty also took part in the event by providing talks and hands-on experiences, including Dr. Amine Rakab, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Assistant Dean for Clinical Learning, who explained the details of the medical curriculum to students, and Dr. Ameed Raouf , Associate Professor of Anatomy in Radiology, who demonstrated the use of anatomage tables. Dr. James Roach, Associate Professor of Chemistry, explained chemical reactions with a series of visually impressive demonstrations.
