UCD Under-Graduate Medical Student Training
​A core function of the UCD Coombe Family Practice is the education of undergraduate UCD Medical Students who have placements in the Clinic to observe your consultation as part of their curriculum. We always advise patients if a student is present, and will only invite a student to observe your consultation with your full permission.​
