2025 International Alumni Network Meetings

In 2025, RCPI hosted two international alumni network meetings in the Gulf region, further strengthening our longstanding ties with Members, Fellows and International Training Graduates based there.

The first event took place in February at the Embassy of Ireland in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, followed by a second gathering in November at the Crown Prince Center for Training and Medical Research in Bahrain.

Both events brought together RCPI alumni, offering opportunities to share learnings, reconnect with colleagues, and grow professional networks. These meetings highlight the strong and enduring connection between RCPI and our global alumni community.
