‘I can confirm without hesitation that this UCD Smurfit Executive Development/ MDCA programme provided excellent value and I learned something worthwhile, practical and applicable to my practice with each and every session. We have already put the strategies and techniques that we learned on the programme into practice. The CPD points are also welcome. I would encourage any colleague who spends any time in private practice to enrol for this course. I am positive that you too will find value in the materials, enjoy the class interaction and appreciate the stellar faculty.”

The course surpassed my expectations and I am pleasantly surprised at how much of the information gained has translated into my daily working life. It is rare to take a course so concentrated in one area and in this case, a particular area within an industry; private practice in Ireland. The customised nature of the modules and materials made the information discussed so relevant.
The course attracted similar professionals, creating great networking and learning opportunities within the class, allowing us to share ideas and learn from each other too. I found the lecturers to be very knowledgeable they tailored their examples and discussions to the interests of the group. I would highly recommend this programme to physicians already in private practice, their leadership employees and physicians considering a move into private practice.
