Neonatal Medicine Elective
Hi I'm a 4th year medic at GKT, I'm trying to organise an elective in summer 2014 centred around neonatal medicine...intensive care particularly interests me but any neonatal medicine experience I would find really interesting.

Struggling to qualify for 4 UCAS choices
Hey all, hopefully someone has some advice for me from a graduate point of view. Based on my previous academics and poor UKCAT, I'm struggling to find 4 choices where I'd have little or any chance. I appreciate this is a bit of an essay :P

A few questions about obtaining medical training in Ireland
Greetings, all!
I have a few questions regarding obtaining medical training in Ireland... specifically higher specialty training.
>> As of now, after talking with representatives/agents in the Irish Medical Council, the best I can do at this point is to apply for registration into the general registry. I am a Category 4 applicant - I did my medical schooling and postgraduate internship in a non-EU/EEA country - however, I completed my residency in internal medicine and fellowship training in critical/intensive care medicine in the US. They stated that applicants who do not have the equivalent or a Certificate of ...
