  • My time spent on RCSI’s International Surgical Fellowship Programme was really a great experience and opportunity. The RCSI support and guidance made my dream real to work in the Liver Transplant Unit in St. Vincent’s Hospital. In particular RCSI provided invaluable assistance in moving to Ireland which was most helpful for me and my family.

  • The Irish training system is a well structured, comprehensive system and it’s well mentored and supervised by Professors and Consultants. There is continuous medical education including journal clubs, lectures and radiology meetings. The RCPI team and RCPI mentors are supportive, they are always helpful and approachable in answering all questions and helping overcome any challenges or difficulties.

  • I was honoured to receive a place on RCSI’s International Surgical Fellowship Programme and am most grateful for the opportunities it provided me. As a surgical graduate in Saudi Arabia, I always dreamed of going to Europe to continue my surgical journey and working to become a consultant colorectal surgeon. Being at RCSI and Beaumont hospital helped me realise my dreams and I had the opportunity to work directly with one of the best colorectal surgeons in Dublin. Without a doubt, my fellowship training played a key role in achieving my educational visions. I cannot deny the great support from my fist day in Dublin from RCSI, not only educationally but also social support and encouragement.

    Dr Ameera Balhareth. King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Dammam, KSA.

  • It is every Trainee’s dream to have a Fellowship which is tailored to their needs. I was lucky enough to have this during my training with RCPI. The people are friendly, it was a stress-free training environment, and I felt they respected cultural differences. The registration process was simple and the team were helpful throughout the entire Fellowship. It was a great experience.

    Dr Fatema Al-Washahi. Graduate of the International Clinical Fellowship Programme in Maternal Medicine, Oman

  • The International Surgical Fellowship Programme in RCSI offered me a well-rounded skill set in colorectal surgery including first-rate multi-tasking skills. My training was very helpful in improving my skills in managing surgical services and it also provided me with an opportunity to build my operative speciality skills and apply these new skills in practice. RCSI’s city centre location is very convenient and accessible, particularly beneficial when becoming established in a new city.

    Dr Mohammed Tahtouh. King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Dammam, KSA.

  • I found RCPI training very strong. For me, the continuous development and structured path for each Fellow in each subspecialty, were its strongest points. RCPI staff, as well as my mentors and colleagues, were always supportive and professional. This helped with the challenges of overcoming a new environment.

    Dr Khalid Al Alawi. Graduate of the International Clinical Fellowship Programme in Paediatric Cardiology, Oman

  • My two years breast and endocrine surgery fellowship at RCSI was everything I hoped for and more.

    Dr Fozan Aldulaijan. King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Dammam, KSA.

  • I am privileged and honoured to be the first RCPI International Trainee from the Clinical Fellowship Programme in Occupational Medicine. I had the opportunity to be trained and taught by the experts in the field. I’m grateful for all the support that was provided to me and my family during the two years of training.

    Dr Khuloud Al Hammadi. Graduate of the International Clinical Fellowship Programme in Occupational Medicine, UAE

  • The move to Ireland was a dream for me. I was so nervous in the beginning because I didn’t know what I would face. I was moving my whole family here and it was made much easier with the help of the College. They linked us up with Castel Education who did an amazing job for literally everything.

    Dr Dalal Ali. Graduate of the International Clinical Fellowship Programme in Endocrinology, Oman

  • Being a Trainee with the RCPI was a dream come true for me. One of the most important things I learned from being a Trainee in Ireland is how to improve doctor-patient communication. If you want to understand the meaning of patient- centred care, just come here. There really is person centred care and great doctor patient communication, inside and outside the hospitals.

    Dr Abrar Jamal Al Waheed. Graduate of the International Clinical Fellowship Programme in Haematology, Saudi Arabia

  • The best thing about Ireland in general is the people; they are very friendly, the patients are really friendly, approachable, nice.

    Dr Muhammad Al-Shammari. Graduate of the International Clinical Fellowship Programme in Cardiology, Kuwait
