The symposium was a joint endeavour by Alfaisal University\u2019s very own Medical Student Association (MSA), the Office of Student Research at Alfaisal University and King Faisal Specialist Hospital &amp; Research Center. Sub-titled \u201cTo International Excellence\u201d, the day-long event sought to bring to light the many research-based achievements and endeavours of Alfaisal\u2019s medical students, hoping to inspire yet more minds and continue on the institution\u2019s long-standing path of expanding and sharing knowledge in the future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">The opening ceremony began with recitation of the Quran and a welcome speech by the organizing committee Head, AbdulHadi Alamoudi. This was followed by the MSA President Abdullah AlShammari\u2019s updates on the Medical Student Association\u2019s past and current achievements and efforts, as well as enlightening addresses by College of Medicine Dean Dr. Khaled Al-Kattan and His Excellency, Dr. Qasem AlQasabi (CEO \u2013 KFSH). Dr. Khawla AlKuraya, a renowned figure in the research field, added an aura of inspiration and motivation to the morning with her thought-provoking speech on undergraduate research. Stressing upon the importance of teamwork and the colossal significance research holds in today\u2019s rapidly advancing society, Dr. Khawla said: \u201cWithout lab-time and research, clinicians will never be able to appreciate the hard work involved in writing a single research paper. Also, remember that teamwork is key to success in this field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">The opening ceremony set stage for a very promising day seeking to illuminate the many research-based accomplishments of Alfaisal\u2019s medical students. A total of eighteen undergraduate College of Medicine students presented their past and on-going research projects before an enthusiastic audience comprising of Alfaisal\u2019s students, faculty and staff, as well as distinguished medical practitioners hailing from variable areas of expertise.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">A day\u2019s worth of awe-evoking student presentations, open question and answer sessions and pleasant exchange later, the symposium culminated with a greatly anticipated awards ceremony which demarcated the first, second and third place winners as Azhar Farooqui (\u2018Striatin is a novel regulator of calcium homeostasis in cardiomyocytes\u2019), Ahmad Abu-Zaid (\u2018Renal Inflammation and Elevated Blood Pressure in a mouse model of Reduced Beta Epithelial Sodium Channels \u2018) and Cynthia Mosher (\u2018Improving Breastfeeding in Saudi Arabia: The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative\u2019) respectively. In addition, vote of thanks was also extended to the symposium organizers (the MSA), the attendees and the judging panel for their support, co-operation and efforts geared towards making the day one to be remembered for a long time to come.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">With world-class dedicated faculty, students and organizations such as the Medical Student Association striving towards \u201cinternational excellence\u201d, there is no doubt that Alfaisal University will continue to foster and grow upon its commitment to quality education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College of Medicine, Alfaisal University held its 3rd Annual Undergraduate Research Day at Prince Salman auditorium (King Faisal Specialist Hospital&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1061,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129,19],"tags":[],"college-department":[{"term_id":14,"name":"College of Medicine","slug":"college-of-medicine","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":14,"taxonomy":"college-department","description":"","parent":0,"count":363,"filter":"raw"}],"class_list":["post-1060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-archive","category-students","college-department-college-of-medicine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
