The UCD Professional Certificate in Emergencies in Sports & Exercise Medicine is one of the most focused sports medicine courses I have completed, and has equipped me with the necessary practical skills needed for a medical professional in a sporting environment. The blend of didactic and practical skills ensures a comprehensive and broad knowledge base for students. Having completed a number of sports medicine courses and a sports medicine masters I can say this is one of the best courses I have completed to date. The course is a testament to the excellent teaching and communication skills expertly demonstrated by the teaching faculty. I look forward to utilising the skills I learnt for the teams I cover in the future.
