WCM-Q Students Conduct Research In Qatar, US, UK And South Korea
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Students at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) gained valuable experience of biomedical research during the summer recess by joining laboratories at elite international universities including Imperial College London, Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, and Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas.
Thirty-seven WCM-Q medical students completed summer research projects as part of the college's Advanced Biomedical Sciences Research (ABSR) elective course, which offers students the opportunity to pursue a personal scholarly experience in biomedical science.
The ABSR elective is open to students who have completed the first year of the medical curriculum and wish to graduate with honors in research and develop their scientific investigation and clinical research skills.
A student-initiated programme, the ABSR invites interested students to submit research proposals for consideration, develop working relations with prospective mentors, and secure invitations to visit and collaborate on research projects.
The programme, which lasts eight weeks, offers a variety of experiences, including clinical research, laboratory research, social science, public health projects, and other translational projects.
The 37 WCM-Q students completed research projects as part of the ABSR this summer. Majority of the students were awarded the Medical Student Research Award, provided by the WCM-Q Research Division, to support their travel.
Dr Nayef Mazloum, associate professor of microbiology & immunology/associate dean for student research at WCM-Q, said:“The advanced biomedical sciences research elective course is an excellent way for our students to develop a number of important attributes, including critical thinking skills, an appreciation of the scientific method, and the ability to develop collaborative relationships with researchers and mentors.
Doing this at an early stage in their career helps a student to become well-rounded physician-scientists who are able to move beyond mastery of the material they encounter in their studies to apply that knowledge in research and clinical settings in ways that improve patient care.”
The students investigated a wide range of research areas, including rehabilitation medicine, inflammation and rare diseases, nephrology, obstetrics and gynecology, neurological surgery, microbiology and immunology, hematology, oncology, infectious diseases, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, pathology and laboratory medicine, among many others.
Dr Mazloum added:“These summer research experiences contribute to an important pillar of our mission at WCM-Q, which is to produce accomplished and innovative physician-scientists equipped with the skills and outlook to advance medicine in the modern era.”
