Mary J Farrell Medal and Scholarship

The inaugural Mary J Farrell Medal and Scholarship were awarded at the 2019 UCD Medicine Conferring Ceremony.

Thanks to Patricia O’Kelly’s generous support, UCD School of Medicine has established The Mary J
Farrell Community Care Scholarship Fund to honour this exceptional UCD Medicine alumna who
helped lay the foundations for modern general practice care in Ireland.
These funds will be used to establish:
1. The Dr Mary J Farrell Medal in General Practice in perpetuity; and
2. The Mary J Farrell General Practice Research Fund to support a medical student
undertaking a GP SSRA research elective.
The inaugural Mary J Farrell Medal in General Practice was awarded on Thursday 6 June at the
UCD School of Medicine Conferring and Awards Ceremony.
