Forty students from high schools across Qatar have completed the challenging Qatar Aspiring Doctors Programme (QADP), an initiative run by the Office of Student Outreach and Educational Development at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q). The programme, which runs from October to March each year, provides rigorous tuition in the physical sciences, biology, research skills and English for academic purposes to both inspire and prepare motivated students to study medicine at WCM-Q. Having successfully completed the programme, the 40 students from grades 10, 11 and 12 at both private and government schools were presented with certificates of achievement in an online ceremony. Dr James Roach, associate dean for Pre-medical Education and professor of Chemistry, who delivers the physical sciences modules said: “First and foremost, it’s a recruitment programme and an effective one. The vast majority of our Qatari students in Foundation and Premed came through the QADP, but the benefits of the programme go beyond recruitment.More Related News
