I am an honours graduate of NUIG completing my undergraduate training in 2003. Following internship I worked for one year in Emergency Medicine in a busy ED outside sunny Brisbane, Australia. On my return from Australia, I spent another year working as a medical house officer in Galway before securing a place on the Mid-Western GP Training program.  In 2010 I completed my specialist training, gaining membership of the ICGP and have practiced as a GP since.I always had an interest in medical education and in 2012 I completed a diploma in Health Science (Clinical Education). Since then I have enjoyed balancing my career between both clinical practice in a busy Galway city surgery and undergraduate teaching at the NUIG academy in Portiuncula hospital, Ballinasloe.  I have lectured in Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology but in 2014 I commenced a post lecturing General Practice to 4th year medical students.  In 2014 I worked as GP lead on the development of an e-learning module on depression which, was a collaboration between the department of General Practice and Psychiatry. This year I hope to complete a Masters in Clinical Education.I enjoy nothing more than travelling to new places whenever I can. style !-- * Font Definitions * @font-face {font-family: quot; #65325; #65331; #26126; #26397; quot;; mso-font-charset:78; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:1 134676480 16 0 131072 0;} @font-face {font-family: quot; #65325; #65331; #26126; #26397; quot;; mso-font-charset:78; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:1 134676480 16 0 131072 0;} @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1073743103 0 0 415 0;} * Style Definitions * p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent: quot; quot;; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: quot; #65325; #65331; #26126; #26397; quot;; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: quot;Times New Roman quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: quot; #65325; #65331; #26126; #26397; quot;; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: quot;Times New Roman quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} @page WordSection1 {size:595.0pt 842.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:35.4pt; mso-footer-margin:35.4pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} -- gt;style
