Qatar is a country located on the east shores of the Arabian Peninsula. In the past three decades, Qatar has experienced significant changes in its educational and healthcare systems. At the time of writing this paper, there are two accredited Faculties of Medicine, which offer students from all over the world the possibility of becoming doctors. Residency Programs are taught in English and are accredited by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-International (ACGME-I). In this paper, we outline the organisation of Qatar medical education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with particular emphasis on the postgraduate anaesthesiology residency program. We outline the opportunities for curriculum development and its future challenges.
