Professor Hannah McGee, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, RCSI said "The TY Mini-Med programme is a great opportunity for students to experience what it is like to train as a medical professional. This is the 6th year of the programme and demand for the programme outweighs the number of places available. Students will have an opportunity to use innovative technology and learn from some of Ireland's top healthcare professionals from RCSI and Beaumont Hospital, giving them an excellent insight into careers in medicine, science and research. Thanks to the School of Postgraduate Studies for organising the programme and to the staff involved for enabling this exciting opportunity".
