Programs
01Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar’s six-year medical programs are structured as a sequence of two curricula, beginning with rigorous undergraduate work in the sciences and humanities, and continuing with a medical curriculum that integrates the basic and clinical sciences.
Pre-Medical Curriculum
The pre-medical curriculum at WCM-Q consists of two years. It is designed to prepare students to meet the educational requirements and rigors of the medical curriculum of the four-year Medical Curriculum. The course content focuses on aspects of the basic sciences that have direct relevance to the field of medicine.
Medical Curriculum
Upon completion of the pre-medical curriculum, students are reviewed for promotion to the medical curriculum of the Six-Year Medical Program. The medical curriculum consists of four years. Students will take basic science courses in the first two years of the medical curriculum and then take clinical-based courses in the third and fourth years.
As a student of Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, I have classmates who are smart, driven, and ambitious; teachers who give me attention in smaller groups while helping me grow; access to many resources; and incredible opportunities to help me develop my skills in many areas—both academic and otherwise.
Community Programs
02In addition to guiding students through their academic journeys, the university is also very active in helping the community live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Institute for Population Health
The Institute for Population Health (IPH) contributes towards building a healthier population in Qatar and participates in educational and community outreach programs aimed at health promotion, disease and injury prevention.
More recently, the IPH has established the Lifestyle Medicine Interest Group – Qatar to promote the discipline of lifestyle medicine and combat the ongoing epidemic of non-communicable diseases by encouraging healthy behaviors and lifestyle measures such as healthy food, good nutrition practices, physical activity, stress management, social connectedness, sleep hygiene, and cessation of tobacco use and other risky substance abuse.
