Welcome to the Irish Division of IADR
The Annual Irish Division Meeting will be held in Dublin on Friday 14th October.
This year for the first time we are pleased to announce a new sponsor (RCSI) for the Clinical Prize. For the next five years the Division has secured significant monies to support the IADR/RCSI Post graduate Clinical Prize (formally the 3M ESPE Clinical Prize). The Division would like to extend their gratitude to Dr Gerard Kearns (RCSI) for the sponsorship and for securing the standing of this competition for the next five years. An additional prize, namely the 3M ESPE Health Research in Primary Care Award has also been added to further support research in Primary Care.
The closing date for abstracts has been extended from Friday 23rd September to 17.00 hrs Tuesday 27th September.
Update from San Diego General Session 2011
The meeting was a highly successful one in terms of exposure from the Irish Division members:
The most recent Irish Division IADR meeting was held in Dublin Dental School on Friday 15th October. Over thirty presentations were displayed, all of which were of a very high quality.
