In this episode, host Aebhric O’Kelly kicks off the new academic year and reflects on the growth of the College of Remote and Offshore Medicine (CoROM), which will celebrate its 10-year anniversary next year. What began in 2016 with just 16 students has grown into an international institution with over 100 students across four degree programmes.
This episode features conversations with the leaders of CoROM’s three postgraduate programmes:
Dr Ella Corrick – Director of the Doctorate in Health Sciences (DHS), who discusses the growth of the doctoral cohort, the possibility of transitioning to a PhD programme, and the vital role of building a strong online academic community.
Dr Csaba Dioszeghy – Programme Manager of the MSc in Austere Critical Care (ACC), who shares upcoming updates, including flexible online pathways, new elective modules in ultrasound and paediatric critical care, and stronger international clinical placement partnerships.
Dr Nick Zuber – Programme Director of the Masters in Global Health (MGH), who explains the difference between global and public health, the diverse career opportunities for graduates, and how this degree prepares clinicians for leadership roles in international healthcare systems and disaster relief.
