Learning new lessons beyond the classroom

Dr. Ahmad Firas Khalid went overseas as a Queen Elizabeth Scholar in 2016 as a PhD candidate from McMaster University. His internship with Médecins Sans Frontières in the United Kingdom focused on how health systems react to crisis situations in low- and middle-income countries.

“My QES experience left me hungry to experience more of what the world has to offer, challenged me to always take a leap of faith into the unknown, and opened my mind to learning new lessons beyond the classroom. I am forever grateful for the life-long friendships I developed and the eye-opening experiences that propelled me to be innovative, bold, and courageous in all aspects of my life.”

The Queen Elizabeth Scholars program is made possible through the leadership of the RHF in collaboration with Universities Canada. For more information, visit www.queenelizabethscholars.ca.
