Graduating Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar medical students joined their New York City counterparts during Match Day on March 21 to learn where they matched for their residencies.
Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar achieved a 93% match rate for those who applied to U.S. residency programs, exceeding the average 59% match rate for international medical graduates. Five WCM-Q students, including Mohammad Yaghmour, matched to WCM-affiliated NewYork-Presbyterian campuses.
“Studying at WCM-Q has really been the best of both worlds,” said Yaghmour, who matched to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center for a residency in general surgery. “You get to access the prestigious education system of the U.S. while being able to stay around your own family, which is everything that I could have asked for. I am very grateful and if I had my time again I would definitely make the same choice to study at WCM-Q.”
