Sidra’s participation is aimed at updating the student community about its prestigious scholarship programme, training opportunities and to encourage students to consider careers in the healthcare sector.

Sidra has invited students to visit its booths at the following events. The events are “Medicine Unlimited” event organised by Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (Nov 22); Open Day at Qatar University (Nov 27) and University of Calgary Qatar Open Day event (Nov 29).

The three events will offer students a unique opportunity to learn about careers in medicine. Participants will be invited to apply for the Sidra scholarship programme where the outreach team will be on hand to help address questions and share information. The Open Day at Qatar University will also feature a presentation for pharmacy and biomedical students by Sidra’s acting chief medical officer Dr Ziyad Hijazi, who will be discussing his personal journey on discovering his passion for medicine.

Similarly, Sidra’s presence at the WCMC-Q’s “Medicine Unlimited” and University of Calgary Qatar events aims to introduce students to exciting and diverse career paths, to those interested in joining the organisation. Sidra’s simulation team will also be on hand at the “Medicine Unlimited” event where students will get a unique opportunity to try some of its world-class simulation equipment for themselves.

“Sidra’s National Career Development division takes pride in participating in such initiatives that will help support the advancement of medical knowledge and services in Qatar. We are committed to actively engaging with the local student community at events hosted by schools and universities alike,” said Dr Eiman al- Ansari, director of National Development at Sidra Medical and Research Centre.
