Twenty-eight high school students completed the Qatar Aspiring Doctors Program (QADP), run by Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar (WCM-Q) and designed to show promising high school students a window into life as a college student. The year-long programme also provided them with insight into what life would be like as a physician.
A total of 35 students enrolled in the programme and 28 have now completed it, receiving certificates at a special ceremony at WCM-Q. The students come from a total of 16 schools and 27 are Qatari.
Razan Al Mousawi, who currently attends Qatar International School, was one of those who completed the QADP. The 18-year-old, who has applied to join WCM-Q’s six-year integrated medical programme in September, said the programme has been hugely beneficial and very enjoyable.
