About Faculty
Faculty members at Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q) are committed to excellence in teaching, research, patient care and the advancement of the art and science of medicine. In order to become a faculty member at WCMC-Q, it is a prerequisite to qualify for and secure a faculty appointment at Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) and Cornell University (CU). Generally, faculty who teach in the pre-medical program have appointments in the undergraduate disciplines at the Ithaca campus of CU and medical faculty, including those in basic sciences, clinical disciplines and research, hold appointments at the WCMC in New York. Qualified faculty members may teach in both the pre-medical and medical programs.

Courses taught in the pre-medical program are comprised of the sciences basic to medicine, in addition to mathematics, English, medical ethics and neuroscience. The medical program, which replicates the curriculum taught at WCMC, features a variety of learning experiences including but not limited to problem-based learning, case-based conferences, journal clubs, laboratory sessions and clinical experiences.

Members of the faculty whose names appear in this section are those who have committed to WCMC-Q on a long term basis, i.e., more than a year, and reside in Qatar. They are supplemented by faculty based in WCMC, who travel to Qatar for short periods up to one week, following delivery of their lectures in NY. The schedule of classes at WCMC-Q lags the schedule in NY by two weeks to permit this integrated teaching to occur. The names of visiting faculty are not included in this section.
