Doctor for a day - UCC Transitions Students into Medicine

2 Feb 2018

Friday 2 February 2018: 107 school children from across Ireland will descend to 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork鈥檚 School of Medicine today to attend 鈥楶rep-for Med.鈥�

This hugely popular programme allows transition year pupils from across Ireland to experience both the life and the facilities available to Medical students鈥� in UCC鈥檚 School of Medicine, and witness a live Caesarean Section via videolink.

Accompanied by 50 Career Guidance counsellors, the transition year students will be guided through Brookfield Health Sciences Complex and the FLAME Anatomy laboratory, before being put through their paces in multiple teaching stations covering areas such as resuscitation, laboratory testing and anaphylaxis. This allows them to learn first-hand how skills are taught and delivered. The afternoon sees the group move to Cork 深夜亚洲福利久久 Hospital where Dr. Jason Van der Velde from West Cork Rapid Response Unit discusses Emergency Medicine, Dr. Margot Bolster discusses the forensic examination of a crime scene, and, most unforgettably for past participants, Dr. Orfhlaith O鈥橲ullivan and Dr. Colm Lane will perform a live C-Section, which is broadcast from Cork 深夜亚洲福利久久 Maternity Hospital.

Professor Stephen Cusack, Dean of UCC鈥檚 School of Medicine comments that 鈥淯CC has a long and proud tradition in Medical Education. The quality of students who enter our medical programme is first class due in no small way to the excellent secondary schools who prepare those students. 鈥楶rep-for Med鈥� allows students from across Ireland to understand how we train our future Doctors and Clinicians and how they can aspire to a career in Medicine. UCC has led the way in developing this innovative program which showcases life in Medicine to secondary school students, and I am looking forward to seeing some of our visitors return to UCC鈥檚 School of Medicine in the years ahead.鈥�

Dr Brad Noel, lead of undergraduate recruitment at UCC鈥檚 School of Medicine, comments 鈥淭his initiative opens Cork's doors to Schools from across the country as we seek to attract from our nation鈥檚 sparkling youth the finest of Irish potential so we may prepare the next crop of Tomorrow鈥檚 Doctors.''
