A Message From Our National Clinical Director

Dr Cathy Cullen

This is an exciting and innovative post graduate training programme leading to qualification as a Family Medicine Specialist. The programme was invited by the Ministry of Health in recognition of the value of primary care, and as an acknowledgement of what a strong workforce with FMS training can add to the overall health of a nation.

MInTFM works with an experienced enthusiastic team of committed Family Medicine Specialists, both as scheme directors and trainers. I encourage you to look closely at what this programme has to offer you and hope to welcome many of you to MInTFM in the near future.
