This year's Excellence Award went to Noof from the Academic Bridge Program and Nawaf Ahmed al Muhannadi from Qatar Academy Doha School.

The JO award went this year to Lolwa Sanim Bahzad from Al Maha Academy for Girls, Ghaya Nasser al Suwaidi from Michael Debakey High School, and Isa Waleed al Mannai and Sultan Abdulla al Raban from the Academic Bridge Program.

Noof Ali Al-Mazrooei, a participant in the program said: “The interactive QMEP program held at WCM-Q is very beneficial for students that are trying to figure out whether medicine at WCM-Q is the right path. This two-week program not only gives you great insight into the student life of WCM-Q but also clears any mixed emotions you have towards medicine. Personally, this program strengthened my motivation towards pursuing medicine as a career. "

Sara Abdulla Al-Mulla said: “I enjoyed every moment there, particularly as I got to know new people and become more social. I was a very shy person, but this program helped me become bold and talk to new people. This program also helped me see what university feels like and this will come in useful when I graduate from high school.”
