A total of 39 students from 24 high schools successfully completed the Qatar Aspiring Doctors Programme (QADP) at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q), a statement said.Organised by the Office of Student Outreach & Educational Development at WCM-Q, the year-long QADP prepares high school students for the pre-medical curriculum through advanced tuition in the physical sciences, biology, research skills, introduction to college writing, and college reading skills.The course instruction follows a hybrid model, with monthly face-to-face sessions and hands-on activities blended with online self-paced modules. To participate in QADP, students must be in grades 10, 11, or 12 and interested in pursuing a career in medicine. They must demonstrate excellence in the sciences and mathematics and be nominated by their high school counselor, with priority given to national students.Dr James Roach, associate dean for pre-medical education and professor of chemistry, who delivers the physical sciences modules of the QADP, said: “The QADP is an enriching and extremely rewarding programme that offers students the unique opportunity to strengthen their knowledge and skills.”The students who successfully completed the QADP celebrated their achievements during a ceremony held at WCM-Q and received certificates of completion, as well as personal congratulations from the WCM-Q faculty
