Every year, Weill Cornell Medicine - Qatar opens its doors for a large annual community outreach fair, which offers high school students and their families a glimpse of science and medicine and the possibility of a career in healthcare.
This interactive public event introduces prospective students and their families to WCM-Q faculty, who share simulations and demonstrations that review the workings of genes, molecules and the human body.
At tables lining the academic wing, faculty, staff and students share their knowledge of medical science with the visitors of the fair and participants of the conference. The main purpose of this science fair is to provide students and visitors with first-hand experience and showcase the buzzing academic and student life at the medical college.
A quiz is organized at the end of the event and allows students to test their knowledge and win prizes.
