1 Feb 2016

100 school children from across Ireland descend to 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork鈥檚 (UCC) School of Medicine to attend the fifth annual 鈥楶rep-For Med鈥� today.

This hugely, and increasingly popular programme, allows transition year pupils from across Ireland to experience both the life and the facilities available to Medical students鈥� in the School of Medicine, based in UCC鈥檚 College of Medicine and Health.

Accompanied by 50 career guidance councillors, the students鈥� were 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; allowing them to learn first-hand how skills are taught and delivered. The afternoon saw the group move to Cork 深夜亚洲福利久久 Hospital where Dr. Margaret Bolster discussed the forensic examination of a crime scene, Dr. Jason Van der Velde from West Cork Rapid Response unit discussed Emergency medicine, and Dr. Matt Hewitt performed a live Caesarean Section via videolink which saw the birth of a baby girl.
