Clinical Campus

UCD Clinical Training Network

The School has developed an extensive and expanding clinical training network in partnership with Ireland’s best acute, specialist and general hospitals for UCD Medicine students.

Clinical Teaching in General Practice:
The School of Medicine has longstanding links with general practices in Ireland and internationally. Teaching practices are located in urban and rural areas across Ireland and provide UCD students with the opportunity to learn clinical skills and general practice care in diverse settings. Students receive exposure to general practice from early on in their medical training. 150 practices regularly contribute to our programme, with many also involved in the school’s research activities.  We welcome contact from colleagues who are interested in being involved with our programmes.
Medicine students should note that there is a high likelihood that their GP placement will take place outside of Dublin, and plan accordingly. Further information, please contact:  (opens in a new window)g (opens in a new window)p.placements@ucd.ie
