The Qatar Doctor of the Future Scholarships are annual prizes awarded by Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar through its Healing Hands Essay Competition. Winners travel to Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City for two weeks, visit research laboratories, and spend time with researchers in major hospitals. WCM-Q announces a different medical theme for the essay contest each year.

Applicants compete through the Healing Hands Essay Competition. The latest cycle-specific notice located is from 2021; the official site currently publishes no new theme, opening date, deadline, or live application form, so the program is between cycles.
