About Me
Specialist Registrar
in Public Health Medicine
I am currently working as a Specialist Registrar in Public Health Medicine in Ireland. This means that I am in training to become a consultant in Public Health Medicine. I trained as a medical doctor in University College Cork, where I also undertook my Masters in Public Health. Through this site I aim to share some of my experiences in Public Health Training and provide some valuable educational materials that may benefit other students and trainees.
