School of Medicine and Medical Science (University College Dublin)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The School of Medicine and Medical Science at University College Dublin has a strong reputation for the quality of graduates it produces. Graduates include the current head of school, outgoing dean and the president of the University of California, Davis.
The School is now gaining in strength and reputation with the opening of a new purpose built state of the art building on the Belfield campus, the heart of the university. The clear advantage of this is its close proximity to the Conway Institute (one of Europe's leading biomedical and biomolecular research centres), Ireland's Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases, and the Centre for Synthesis and Chemical Biology.
Students study a 3-year pre-clinical program (plus a somewhat optional pre-medical year) and then study two final years in the affiliated teaching hospitals, either St. Vincent’s University Hospital or the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital. Upon graduation students are awarded bachelors degrees in medicine, surgery and obstetrics.
The medical school has a twinning medical program with the Penang Medical College.
