26 Feb 2008, Doha, Qatar — Female students at Weill Cornell’s Doha campus review EKG readings during a medical lab. Doha’s Education City, which houses the campuses of Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, and the Weill Cornell Medical School, is at the forefront of the education initiative being adopted by many of the countries on the oil rich Arabian Peninsula. With degrees awarded from their main campuses in the states, and recognized by the American education system, the institutions aim to educate a new generation of great Arab minds closer to home. — Image by © Bryan Denton/Corbis
