Brief CV
I completed undergraduate medical education in UCD in 2005 followed by higher specialist training in rheumatology and general internal medicine with the RCPI. I was awarded a EULAR postgraduate certificate in rheumatology in 2010 and a PhD by UCD in 2012 for my thesis on the therapy of rheumatoid and spondyloarthritis. I subsequently undertook a 2 year tenure as a consultant in the Department of Vasculitis and Lupus in Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge and laterally have become a certified clinical densitometrist for the purpose of DXA evaluation.
I look forward to cooperating with you for the care of your patients.
Dr Len Harty
