About the programme
Training is conducted at designated hospital sites in Ireland and led by RCPI-certified trainers, with additional support through a structured national teaching program. The RCPI International Residency Programme follows a structured curriculum and encourages trainees to actively participate in multidisciplinary clinical team meetings, engage in research and audit projects, and attend both national and international pathology conferences.

The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland offers valuable opportunities for overseas medical graduates whose home country has a sponsorship agreement with RCPI through the International Residency Training Programme (IRTP).
These comprehensive three three-year programmes and one two-year programmes delivered entirely in Ireland, provides specialised training in Internal Medicine, Paediatric, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Histopathology that may be unavailable in their home countries.
A key benefit is the exposure to Ireland’s advanced healthcare system and its long-established tradition of postgraduate medical education. The programme enables Trainees to work in primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary hospitals, offering varied clinical experiences across different healthcare settings.
