UCC tech centre for medics to be first in Europe

The four-storey 2,200 square metre centre, which is being developed by University College Cork (UCC), is modelled on similar centres at Stanford University and MIT in the US, but will be the only one of its kind in Europe.
“The intent is that the outputs of this centre will benefit patients locally and nationally through enhanced training of health professionals,” said Professor George Shorten, dean of the UCC School of Medicine.
