The Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) Dean’s Honour List has recognised the academic performance of 63 high-achieving pre-medical and foundation students.
Students who achieved a grade point average of 3.75 or higher during the Spring or Fall Semester of the 2020-21 academic year were included on the list. Forty-five students scored a double victory by making it onto the list in both semesters.
Dr Sean Holroyd, WCM-Q associate dean for student affairs, said: “Our students have shown remarkable resilience to continue to excel academically during the upheaval and uncertainty of the pandemic. It is extremely gratifying to be able to congratulate those students who have overcome the difficult circumstances and met the very high standards required to make it onto the Dean’s Honour List.”
WCM-Q alumna Dr Mashael al-Khelaifi of the Class of 2008, now a senior consultant anaesthesiologist, gave the keynote speech at the ceremony, saying: “We are here to recognise this achievement, knowing that it is as a result of long-standing hard work on your part. This achievement, which signifies a striving for scientific and clinical excellence, is of utmost importance - especially now. So, congratulations - be proud of yourselves, and keep up the hard work.”
