University College Cork - The P. F. Fitzpatrick Prize in Epidemiology and Public Health Medicine

What you get

You receive a one-off prize of about 400 EUR from University College Cork (UCC), awarded through its College of Medicine and Health. The amount comes from an endowment fund, so it can shift up or down a little from year to year depending on investment returns. The prize honours Patrick F. Fitzpatrick, a former deputy chief medical officer in Cork who worked to control tuberculosis in the city.

• First attempt: You passed the exam in your third year of study and passed all your modules at the first attempt.
