Doha College Medical Conference - Inspiring Medical Students

Launched in 2014 and the first of its kind in the state of Qatar, Doha College’s Medical Conference brings together secondary school students who share a passion for medicine. The conference’s sole objective is to provide a unique platform for young medics who are taking their first steps towards a career in medicine. The event allows budding medical students to showcase their knowledge and in-depth research capabilities by presenting on the latest ground-breaking developments.

Keeping with Qatar’s 2030 National Vision, which clearly affirms a commitment to healthcare, Doha College is proud to be at the forefront of supporting students in Qatar with a similar vision. Together with COBIS – Council of British International Schools; and local partners Hamad Medical Corporation and Elite Medical Center, we support the National Vision by inspiring and equipping students, enhancing their skills and aiding them in the university application process for a career in the medical field.

Interested schools put forward teams from years 11, 12 and 13 to research recent developments in medicine and deliver a short presentation about it. Teachers from participating schools stand as judges for the morning session presentations, and the final judging panel will comprise doctors and medical experts who then assess and challenge the finalists in the afternoon session.
