The medal will be awarded annually to the student judged best in Medical Microbiology based on aggregate marks in Graduate Entry to Medicine Years 1 & 2 and Direct Entry to Medicine Years 2 & 3, on the basis of an examination in that year. Only students in UCC are eligible.
The judges will be the Consultant Medical Microbiologist(s) at the Cork University Hospital, and the Professor of Medical Microbiology UCC, or the Professor of Pathology UCC.
