Introducing some of our new Examiners
Dr Abigail Walsh
St Vincent's Hospital
I decided to become an examiner as I enjoy teaching but was feeling increasingly out of touch in terms of how best to teach the curriculum. I also wanted to use it as a way of refreshing my own theoretical knowledge. Lastly, I thought I'd enjoy the opportunity to network with colleagues in other hospitals. I really enjoyed the experience of being on the other side of the table last week.
Dr Vikash Singh
Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda
I become examiner due to two important reasons; to be a part of good standard examination system and get an examination insight.
Dr Niamh Feely
University Hospital Kerry
I've been involved in pre-clinical and clinical Medical Education, including exams, since 1995 and having recently taken up a more formal role with the College as Clinical Lead For Simulation, the next logical step was to become an examiner to round out my contribution to exam days.
Dr Ciana McCarthy
Beaumont Hospital
I enjoy teaching and have an interest in education plus it keeps my knowledge up to date!
Dr Ghulam Raza
South Tipperary University Hospital
I want to be an examiner because it’s an excellent opportunity to continue professional development, enhance my current role, and contribute to my future career progression. It will help keep my knowledge up to date, and finally, I feel it’s the best way to pay back to the College of Anaesthesiologists and the country.
Dr Martin Melvin
Mayo University Hospital
I decided to become an examiner as it is a great opportunity once you become a consultant to be involved with the college of anaesthesiologists . It keeps you engaged with anaesthesia training which is very important at a local hospital level also . Lastly , of course the social aspect is also appealing in which you get to meet up with colleagues from around the country every year
Dr Mohamed Ahmed
Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda
Being a membership examiner is certainly a rewarding professional experience. I am utterly privileged of contributing to the development of competent anaesthesiologists of the future.
