Dean's Lunchtime Clinical Club
The Dean's Clinical Club is a series of talks which take place at lunchtime on Tuesdays during term. The sessions are aimed at pre-clinical students from the Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Nursing programmes, but all students are welcome to attend. The talks are case-based, with a focus on the clinical work taking place in the UCD Veterinary Hospital and a number of sessions also highlight student research taking place in the School.
For more information on the Clinical Club please contact Helen Graham, Communications Manager on (opens in a new window)helen.a.graham@ucd.ie
