Welcome

Welcome to the Website of the School of Medicine. The School offers an undergraduate programme in Medicine, and a range of taught and research based postgraduate masters and diplomas.  Our goal is to equip graduates with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for a lifetime of learning and commitment to patients and society.  We make full use of traditional and modern educational methods.  School members are engaged in innovative research in many areas, with particular emphasis on cancer, gene and stem cell therapy and biomedical engineering science  

The School of Medicine is currently expanding the undergraduate medical intake, and implementing an exciting new curriculum.  We are developing Regional Academies for Teaching and Research at Sligo , Letterkenny , Mayo and Ballinasloe. A new Medical Education Centre also opened in the hospital campus in 2007.  We hope to begin the construction of a €40 million Human Biology building later this year.  A €20 million clinical and translational research facility at the main hospital campus is planned for 2011.  This facility, jointly funded by the University, the Health Research Board and the Health Services Executive will be located on the main hospital campus. 

We hope that you enjoy your visit to the website.
