Weill Cornell Medical College, Qatar
Hello all, my name is Abdulla Al-Mulla I’m one of the Pediatrics Interns. It’s awesome that you’re interested in VCU Pediatrics! I’m one of the international graduates that joined VCU Pediatrics from Qatar. Coming to the US I really wanted to find a program that advocated for diversity and encouraged residence to be themselves and do what we all love to do which is caring for children! VCU and Richmond fitted that description perfectly! What I loved about VCU Peds is that it really felt like a big family. All the attendings and faculty are amazing and truly passionate about medicine and teaching and push their residents to excel. MY co-residents are amazing and supportive and are truly great to work with. This just shows how VCU brings loving and passionate individuals together. The city of Richmond is wonderful to live in it brings both city and nature together in one place. It has beautiful parks and hiking trails, which is awesome because I love to run! Also, I love playing tennis too and Richmond has amazing indoor and outdoor courts for that as well.
