Information Evening for the CoMH Clinical Professorship Call 2025

2 Jul 2025

Applications open in December 2025.

On the 11th June, CoMH and the School of Medicine were delighted to be joined by clinical colleagues in UCC's Aula Maxima for an information evening regarding the College of Medicine and Health Clinical Professorship Call 2025. 

The clinical professorship role aims to recognise and encourage significant contribution to UCC by medical clinicians, and to support our clinicians who have developed and continue to sustain an academic career in parallel with their clinical responsibilities.

An engaging evening, the event provided an excellent opportunity to learn more about the pathway to a highly rewarding clinical professorship role.

Professor Helen Whelton, Head of CoMH and CAO HSE South West Region, welcomed the attendees and was followed by Deputy President and Registrar Professor Stephen Byrne, who is Chair of the Clinical Professorship Review Panel.

Many thanks to Clinical Professors Prof Orla Crosbie, Prof Conleth Murphy and Prof Martin O'Sullivan who provided insights into how they successfully applied for the role in the previous call. 

Professor Paula O’Leary, Dean and Head of UCC School of Medicine, and Angela O’ Donovan, People & Culture Strategy & Organisation Development Manager, then provided a detailed and valuable overview of the application process and advice about how best to complete the application.
