Core EM & Mentorship program

Galway believes strongly in consultant-led, protected teaching time and hosts a Departmental Core Emergency Medicine training programme that mirrors the RCEM core curriculum.

Each doctor also receives a named Consultant (and Registrar if SHO/Intern) as their Mentor, who will meet with you to better understand your career objectives and how best to achieve them.

Annually, we recognise the work of our NCHDs with the Galway Emergency Physician of the Year Award. Our most recent recipient was that of Dr. Marcus Jee. Marcus was well known for his enthusiasm for emergency medicine not only within the EM team but with the inpatient teams and medical students as well. Marcus’s drive for teaching was outstanding and we were lucky to benefit from his positive attitude towards mentoring, simulation, research and improvement of patient care.
