Student Ali Abualhayja'a from school of Medicine published the article which titled "Sixth Class Students' Performance and Confidence Levels Before and After Training in Clinical Skills Laboratories" in the International Journal of Medical Students which considered number one journal for medical students.
The article talked about the importance of training the medical students some procedural skills in Clinical Skills Laboratory such as: suture practice, intravenous (IV) access, intramuscular (IM) injection, Nasogastric tube placement and other skills. This is done by asking the participants to evaluate themselves in performing the selected skills in grade from (1 -10) before and after training for the reason of comparisons. The results showed that the performance and confidence levels were significantly increased after training so that this can have positive effect while performing these skills on real patients.
The abstract of this article was presented in "The Third International Conference for the School of Medicine, the University of Jordan; The 8th international Conference for Scientific Society for Arab Faculties of Medicine"
Ali Abualhayja'a and his research teamwork would like to expand their gratitude to Prof. Orhan Alimoglu and the school of medicine who made their endeavor possible with their continuous support and guidance.

During the course of this elective, albeit short, I learned of several innovative and exciting technologies and practices within the sphere of advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy. I became extremely fascinated with learning more about some of these practices, and as such pursued a few research opportunities that would allow for deeper exploration and analysis. Although hesitant to undergo a research project at first, due to the unfamiliarity of the program I was enrolled in, I quickly grew fond of it. By the end of my stay at Cornell, I had published three different papers involving various aspects of advanced endoscopy in Endoscopy Journal which is considered one of the best in that field. Looking back at my experience at Cornell, I learned the importance and impact of research on the medical world, and was reminded of the thrill and adventure of learning new and innovative medical practices. I hope to continue undertaking exciting research projects, as well as learn new and innovative medical practices throughout my career. | 12/10/2018 | | | |

The intention behind the theme “simplify” chosen for this exhibition is to translate common human emotions into simple brush strokes thus establishing a sense of unity among the people.
