Philip O'halloran MD, FRCS, PhD

Dr. O’Halloran graduated from University College Cork in 2003 and completed his higher surgical training in RCSI. In 2019, he completed his Ph.D. in neurooncology and worked in neurosurgery before moving to Canada to take up a post as a clinical fellow in neurooncology/skull base surgery at Toronto Western Hospital. His most recent position was as a clinical fellow of neurotrauma surgery at the Royal London Hospital.

The fellowship will last for two years. Initially, Dr. O’Halloran will spend a period of time at the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to develop baseline clinical knowledge of concussions and their evaluation, and study clinical research methods. Upon returning to Ireland, the fellow will work with Dr. Helen French and Louise Keating in the RCSI School of Physiotherapy and across the UPMC Concussion Network in Ireland.
