Qatar graduates take the Hippocratic Oath

A milestone in American education is hailed as 15 students receive their M.D.s in Qatar

"At a time of ongoing and even escalating world tensions, Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar is a most positive achievement far beyond the world of medical education," Cornell President David Skorton, himself a cardiologist, said in his address.
