Doha: Eighty-four ambitious high school students with a passion for science had the chance to sample life as a medical student when they joined Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar’s (WCM-Q) Online Summer Programmes.
The two Online Summer Programmes – the Pre-College Enrichment Programme (PCEP) and the Qatar Medical Explorer Programme (QMEP) – are weeklong intensive courses offered by WCM-Q’s Office of Student Outreach & Educational Development and are designed to give students with an interest in medicine a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by a career as a physician-scientist. Both programs provide the participants with online learning sessions that accurately reproduce the experiences of current WCM-Q students, with classes in biology, chemistry, pharmacology, anatomy, disease investigation, medical research, patient-physician dynamics, and medical ethics.More Related News
