    ortho yes neuro no.

    most neuro is in big academic centres, not much private (group) practice, if there is the malpractice insurance is huuuuuuuuuuuuuggeeeee

    ROAD residencies earn the most

    radiology, ortho, anesthesia (mainly pain, anesthesia job market has become saturated lately), and dermatology, who ever said 300-350k for derm needs to negotiate better contracts lol, there are only a few hundered derm residents that graduate every year.

    Obstetrics,Orthopaedics,Oto-Rhino-Laryngology-ENT, Opthalmology-Eyes and then jump to Surgery-esp plastics otherwise forget the P's

    ehh the obgyn and plastics overheads (like malprac) are insane which pushes their net down. Ophto/ent are great earners though. but you can forget about anyone from ireland ever getting into an optho/ent or even plastics (integrated) residency unless they are pulling some serious strings.

    Apologies -I meant serious earnings as a consultant(attending) esp in Ireland. You were clearly just talking about residencies in USA so we are not comparing the same things!!

    I wish I was paying this much :p, they charge the non-EU residents 49,200 euros or so for tuition alone. Lucky Irish :p.

    Who charges that? UCD charges 31k for Undergrad med and 39 for GEP?

    I can't speak to the undergrad med, but the GEP is 39,200 iirc. I can double check that number for you if you'd like, but I'm 90% sure that's what it is.

    What's all the talk of people paying 100k to do GEM?

    Do they mean it's 39k fees and they borrow 61k for living expenses?

    Fees quoted above are non-eu.
    GEM are 4 years fees approx 14k/yr plus 10k/yr living away from home so 4*24 is 96 K

    Er :p, keep in mind non-EU means we don't think in Euros like you do. So it's roughly 66K USD + 30K or so living expenses if we want to take out that much. I did end up taking out close to max this year just cause I didn't know how much everything would cost (what is up with cereal costing 5.49 Euros people). I am planning to take out less the upcoming years once I figure out what sort of living expenses/budget I can manage to get away with.

    Btw the person that commented that Irish people speak 'pure normal like' and I'm the one with the accent. Totally feeling that now. Very nice country/people overall though I've only been here for a day. I'm still getting used to the elevators talking...

    I can see why Americans have a loud/obnoxious reputation though...if the people I was standing in the exit line with at the airport were any indication...and they asked the guy if they could skip the non-EU line to go to the EU one. /facepalm

    The figures here are quite confusing as there's a massive difference between EU and non-EU fees. Typically an Irish person will pay 15k/year for fees and then whatever for living expenses. Non-EU (for RCSI, anyway) is nearly 50k/year for 4 years in the GEP programme. So the total cost for 4 years, including living expenses, will be over ~100k for EU or ~250k for non-EU.

    i think chemistry is needed for UCC as they don't offer a premed year to Irish applicants
