Hey everyone,
I'm a non-EU citizen about to graduate from med school in Romania (EU) in a couple of month and have been looking into Ireland as an option. From what I gather, as a Category 3 applicant (non-EU citizen from EU med school) of a 6 year program, I'm exempt from the internship and the PRES & would be eligible for a SHO post. Got a couple of questions though:
1. How do I go about applying for a post? Do I apply to various hospitals or would I have to take part in a centralized match?
2. Do I have to be registered with the Irish Medical Council before I do? If so, should I apply for General Registration OR Trainee Specialist Registration?
3. What are the chances of a Category 3 applicant being offered a post in a Pediatric-based SHO post? (I want to 'specialize' in pediatrics.)
4. Could someone outline how I could go about registering + applying for a SHO post please?
Thanks a bunch.
