I am very grateful to University College Dublin for providing excellent clinical and research training and for the numerous opportunities to do clinical electives at some of the best hospitals in the US, such as University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Washington University, Emory and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

The six years I spent studying medicine at UCD were incredible, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to study and create memories here. One of my favourite aspects of the program is the opportunity to do research and clinical electives abroad. The Student Summer Research Awards programme allowed me to choose research projects according to my speciality interests and geographic preferences. I was able to complete research in Dublin, Boston and even in my home country, Lebanon. These experiences opened many doors for me, and I went on to present at a number of conferences and publish in international journals.
