Irish Med School (Atlantic Bridge) - Out of High School

[Guest wannabe101]

Hey guys,

Have any of you applied or went to med school in the Dublin area straight out of high school. I believe you can apply to four schools through http://www.atlanticbridge.com. I know a few people who did it after undergrad, who say the program is amazing. Any information or thoughts about those medical schools would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hmm I'm guessing if they want to practice here in Canada, it'd still be pretty difficult..

Surprisingly, both the students I had talked to are planning to practice in Canada after there MD. The schools have very good reputations and the only requirement before coming back to is to write some sort of exam (im not sure which one).

You can practice here in Canada, but you can only match in the second round of CaRMS, leaving you with only a few FP spots, most of whom will probably not take you. However, if you're lucky and you do an elective here in Canada during clerkship, you probably raise your chances quite a bit.
