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.”
