Prep for Med 2021
2021 was the 10 year anniversary of this initiative, and particularly given the difficult year it has been for universities and secondary schools alike, we altered the format and expanded involvement from beyond the School of Medicine to all of the Schools of the College of Medicine & Health (Medicine, Nursing and Midwifery, Therapies, Dentistry and Public Health) to create an online event. This was a fully virtual event presented to participants online on Wednesday 14th April 2021 where:
- Each school from the college presented for a one-hour slot.
- The first 30 minutes involved a tour around the facilities used at the university ,meeting some students and lecturers along the way.
- The second 30 minutes switched to CUH where a specialist working in the relevant clinical discipline described what it is like to be a specialist in their field.
This year we worked with a charity partner for the event - CUH charity. The charity was the Breda McGrath memorial fund through the CUH charity which helps cancer patients in financial difficulties through their treatment. https://www.cuhcharity.ie/cancerservicesappeals/
This year’s event saw in excess of 2,300 views of the event throughout the day.
