    Medicine cabinets usually have two front doors.

    You could always go straight into proctology? I think the course code is ANALP001

    If you want to do science to get into graduate entry medicine you'll have to do the four years. It's called graduate entry because you have to graduate.

    And you'll be liable for ~13,500 in fees a year. No back doors I know of.

    1. Medicine - undergrad degree - 5/6 yrs
    2. Grad Medicine - 4 yrs - don't need to have a science degree but it helps

    - both also require aptitude-type test scores of a certain level

    Trinity doesn't offer a graduate Medicine programme. They join us wide-eyed undergrads, so it's 5 years.

    Of course you could go to somewhere other than Trinity, but why would you do that?!

    Realistically though, the "easiest" back-door is to study medicine in a different country.

    First and second year can be combined, depending on what subjects you've covered previously, and depending on what way the timetabling (sp?!) is!
    Also- I think that no matter what, you'll have to do Anatomy!!

    I know you can get exemptions for certain subjects, but I don't think you can combine.

    Unless you do first year, or the full year of dentistry. In which case you get 2nd year anatomy off.

    Tried the back door years ago, before the HPAT and graduate courses started in UL and UCC, had a degree in Computers wasn't even considered for it. Looked into studying abroad and haven't looked back. The entrance exam was easy enough, got the results and notification that I was given a place on the same day, the cost is a little cheaper than doing a graduate course in Ireland (someone quoted 13,500 per year in Ireland), its about 11,500 here. Getting in was the easy part, staying is the hard part, its a tough course, its all in English, but you have to learn the local language to talk to patients, but overall its great, you'll miss home but there is plenty to do and a good Irish community here. You can do the entrance exams in Ireland in May I think, so maybe consider it.
