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 including biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics in addition to English, medical ethics and psychology. The medical program, which replicates the curriculum taught at WCMC, features a variety of learning experiences including problem-based learning, case-based conferences, journal clubs, laboratory sessions and clinical experiences.

Members of the faculty who have committed to WCMC-Q on a long term basis, i.e., more than a year, and reside in Qatar appear here. They are supplemented by faculty based in WCMC, who travel to Qatar for short periods, following delivery of their subject matter 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 since 2004/2005 can be found here.

WCMC-Q faculty are also supplemented by physicians at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) who received faculty appointments at the appropriate clinical department of WCMC in New York. These faculty provide a valued role in supporting the College's mission in Qatar by overseeing the clinical education of WCMC-Q students rotating through HMC. Current HMC-based clinical faculty can be found here.
