His presentation "Curious About Weill Cornell in Qatar?" provided the audience of distinguished alumni with an overview of this historic expansion of the Medical College.
In his presentation, Dr. Alonso detailed how the curriculum and standards of WCMC in New York have been replicated in Qatar, and the various affiliations that have made WCMC-Q possible, including sponsorship by the Qatar Foundation, the clinical partnership with Hamad Medical Corporation, and the growth of the Sidra Medical and Research Center, due to be completed in 2011. Also discussed was the developing research program, and the five-year plan that will carry it into the future.
