We are proud to be an associate training practice for both Trinity College Dublin and the Donegal Specialist Training Scheme in General Practice.
Trinity College Dublin
Dr Rory Stewart currently occupies the role of Clinical Tutor at the School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin. As a teaching practice we commit to take undergraduate medical students from Trinity College Dublin in order to help further their skills as training doctors and demonstrate to them the importance and variety of the care provided in rural general practice. This is a very important part of their training and one that both us as teachers and they as students take very seriously.
Generally these students are in the 4th year of their undergraduate training and have already amassed a wide range of clinical skills. On occasion you may be asked if it is OK for them to sit in on consultations or examinations and we occasionally ask that if you have the time that you might spend 5 or 10 minutes allowing them to discuss your medical conditions. This is very beneficial for them at this stage of their career and allows you to help train the doctors of the future.
This of course is voluntary. Occasionally for personal reasons you may wish for them not to be present during a consultation. If so please let us know and we will be glad to ask them to leave.
Donegal Specialist Training Scheme in General Practice.
As a GP training practice we often have registrars in general practice attached to us. Usually they stay with us for 1 year. They are fully qualified doctors who are registered with the specialist training division of the Irish Medical Council. While they are still in training they all have several years of medical experience working both in hospitals and general practice and all have spent time in specialist fields such as Paediatrics, Medicine for the Elderly, Emergency Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Psychiatry and much more besides. They are well placed to deal with the vast majority of GP presentations and are supervised by our GP trainer Dr Paul Stewart should a second opinion be required.
