DOHA: Qatari high school students with a love for science spent the summer gaining hands-on research experience at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar
Eleven students aged 16 to 18 completed the WCM-Q Research Internship for National High School Students programme, which gives young Qataris who are keen to pursue careers in science the chance to work in WCM-Q’s laboratories and learn from leading biomedical researchers.
In addition to learning practical research skills, the students were also given advice to help them make their college applications stronger, and took classes in self-directed study, critical thinking and time management.
The programme aims not only to equip high school students with practical skills, but also to give them a glimpse of life as biomedical researchers, fueling their passion for science and scholarship.
