University College Cork - The Timothy O'Toole Medal

The Timothy O'Toole Medal

You will win a medal from University College Cork if you achieve the highest mark in the written examination at the end of your general practice placement. This placement is the rotation during which medical students learn about family medicine. One student wins this prize every year. The prize honours Dr Timothy O’Toole, a UCC medical graduate who practised as a GP in Cork from 1986 to 2003, and was established by people who knew him. Note: It is a medal, not cash.

Who can apply

• Degree: You are studying undergraduate Medicine at UCC right now.
• How you win it: You will be awarded the top mark in the final written examination in General Practice. In the event of a tie between two or more students, the external examiner will decide the winner.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

No application is required. The medal is automatically awarded to the pupil with the highest exam mark.
