Through our partner teaching hospitals we have clinical programs in six major Dublin teaching hospitals, the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, St. Vincent’s University Hospital, the National Maternity Hospital, the Coombe Women’s Hospital, Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children and the Children’s University Hospital at Temple Street.
