HIGH SCHOOL MEDICAL CONFERENCE
Teams of students from high schools across Qatar went head-to-head as they presented research posters to a panel of experts. The High School Research Competition was organised by the Student Recruitment and Outreach Office of Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar (WCM-Q) to encourage teenagers to explore the field of medicine and to use professional scientific research methods. It was also designed to offer them a platform to showcase both their knowledge and their concerns. Twenty-one teams from both private and independent high schools took part in the contest, presenting about themes tied to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals of ensuring healthy lives; ensuring access to water and sanitation; making cities inclusive and safe; ensuring sustainable consumption and production.
