The Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) Dean’s Honor List recognised the academic performance of 53 high-achieving foundation and pre-medical students during a ceremony.
The list included students who received a grade point average of 3.75 or higher during the Fall or Spring Semester of the 2021-22 Academic Year. An impressive 30 students scored a double victory by securing a spot on the list during both semesters.
Speaking at the ceremony, Dr Javaid Sheikh, dean of WCM-Q, said: "I would like to congratulate every student who has secured a well-deserved place on the Dean’s Honor List. This is not an easy accomplishment. It takes excellence and commitment to be named as a high-achiever, qualities which these students have all clearly demonstrated without question. Congratulations once again.”
Dr Sean Holroyd, associate dean for student affairs at WCM-Q, said: "It is wonderful to have so many students here today celebrating their successful year with their colleagues and families. To have a place on the Dean’s Honor List represents a commitment and dedication to the study of medicine.”
One of the awarded pre-medical students from the Class of 2026, Aisha Al Mulla, said: "To excel academically, I have worked hard and overcome numerous challenges. I’m therefore overjoyed to have this acknowledgment. We medical students have a lot to achieve; the Dean’s list marks the beginning of many accomplishments.”
WCM-Q alumnus Dr Mohammed Al Hijji, Class of 2011, now a consultant in interventional and structural cardiology at Hamad Medical Corporation’s Heart Hospital, gave the keynote speech at the ceremony.
