Dean's Message

Dear Prospective Student,

If you are reading this, it is probably because you already have an interest in science, biology, and perhaps even medicine. You are curious about the world and you want to discover more.

Firstly, allow me to congratulate you for possessing an inquisitive mind - this is the first quality you need if you wish to work in the field of science and medicine. You are in good company - this is the same instinct that inspired the great thinkers of history like Archimedes, Galileo and Newton, and the brilliant scholars of the Islamic Golden Age who made incredible advances in mathematics, chemistry, engineering and, of course, medicine.

Secondly, let me now tell you how vital it is that you nurture this quality. I am happy to say that at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) we can help you to do that. We have world-class facilities, talented teaching staff from all over the world and a student support network to help you achieve your goals and realize your full potential. All graduates of WCM-Q receive the same U.S. M.D. degree as graduates of Weill Cornell Medicine-New York, giving you a passport to a wide world of career opportunities.

So please feel welcome to find out more about how we at WCM-Q can help you acquire the skills and knowledge you need to become a doctor who heals people in need, or a researcher marking discoveries in the lab - or both.

We look forward to offering you a very warm welcome.
