Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar is in Education City, near Doha.
Opened in September 2004, this is the first American medical school to be established outside the United States.
The college is part of Cornell's program to increase its international influence.
The college is a joint initiative with the Qatar government, which seeks to improve the country's academic programs and medical care.
Along with its full four-year MD program, which mirrors the curriculum taught at Weill Medical College in New York City, the college offers a two-year undergraduate pre-medical program with a separate admissions process.
This undergraduate program opened in September 2002 and was the first coeducational institute of higher education in Qatar.

The college is partially funded by the Qatar government through the Qatar Foundation, which contributed $750 million for its construction.
The medical center is housed in a large two-story structure designed by Arata Isozaki, an internationally known Japanese architect.
In 2004, the Qatar Foundation announced the construction of a 350-bed Specialty Teaching Hospital near the medical college in Education City.
The hospital was to be completed in a few years.
