Overview of Molecular Medicine Ireland Education and Training
Molecular Medicine Ireland has a well-developed Education & Training Programme that began in 2003 as a Dublin Molecular Medicine Centre initiative. MMI is building an optimal cross-institutional translational research environment by providing easily accessible means for all those involved in biomedical research to come together to develop their skills and broaden their training. Current activities are outlined below:

MMI Courses and Workshops Supporting Clinical and Translational Research
The widely-available MMI Courses & Workshops continue as a mainstreamed resource initiated through PRTLI Cycle 3 funding. Delivered by faculty from multiple institutions (including international keynote lecturers and industry staff), these short courses and practical workshops provide continuing professional development opportunities for all researchers.
See here for details of current and forthcoming MMI Courses and Workshops, and here for the archive of completed courses and workshops.
MMI Structured PhD Training Programmes
The Molecular Medicine Ireland partner institutions collaborate to train key groups in clinical and translational research through structured PhD programmes.
The MMI Clinician Scientist Fellowship Programme (CSFP), funded under the Programme for Research in Third Level Institutions (PRTLI) Cycle 4, is training clinician scientists through a 3-year structured PhD programme. The first cohort of 22 medical graduates are undertaking their PhD research in five academic institutions and participate in national structured training and Annual Scientific Meetings. See here for further details.
In 2010, MMI was awarded funding under PRTLI Cycle 5 for the Clinical & Translational Research Scholars Programme (CTRSP), led by NUI Galway and with partners TCD, UCC and UCD. The CTRSP is a structured 4-year PhD programme, integrated with industry and clinical research centres, which will prepare graduates for careers in industry, academic medical centres and as biomedical entrepreneurs. See here for further details.
MMI Clinician Scientist Structured PhD Curriculum
The Clinician Scientist Fellowship Programme structured training curriculum is the basis of a sustained resource, accessible via the MMI website, for all medical graduates undertaking PhD studies. Over sixty graduate education modules have been assembled from MMI partner institutions and aligned to curriculum topics. Participants can select modules of interest taking place in their own or other institutions and register to attend. See here for further details.
