Public Health Students
Cognate Health partners with UCC annually to offer a valuable opportunity for one public health placement student to join their team for a 12-week training program. This initiative is designed to provide hands-on experience in the field of public health, allowing the student to work alongside seasoned professionals. Throughout the placement, the student engages in various projects and activities, gaining insights to risk assessments, health screenings and health & wellness initiatives. The placement
includes mentorship, practical assignments and equipping the student with essential skills and knowledge for their future career. Cognate Health’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent underscores their dedication to advancing Occupational Health education and practice.
Occupational Health Physician Rotations
Since 2022, Cognate Health has collaborated with International Universities as part of an Occupational Health (OH) rotation program for OH Physicians. During the program, international Physicians/ Doctors have the unique opportunity to observe and learn from our Occupational Health Professionals in our Cork and Dublin clinics. This immersive experience allows them to gain valuable insights into the practical aspects of occupational health, including observing assessments, implementing workplace health strategies, and managing employee health and well-being. The rotation not only enhances their academic knowledge but also provides them with real-world experience in Irish healthcare practices, preparing them for successful careers in the field of occupational health.
