TCD Medicine Accreditation Report 2018

Just as a PSA when it comes to people deciding on course selection for the upcoming CAO offers.

Here is the link to a document published by the Medical Council outlining the current state of TCD's School of Medicine.

It's a pretty shocking report, but one that I can fully attest to being accurate (personal experience)

Just one excerpt from the document.

"The Team heard a consistent theme at every meeting with students from year 3. They stated that the School of Medicine was dismissive of stress, mental health issues and wellbeing of the students."

Just to add, I’m not sure if there will be any physical open days due to covid.

But I did several open days for the school of medicine. They are always interested to know if you have any questions for them.

One question that might be interesting to ask, is why trinity has only been granted accreditation for 2 years, as opposed to the normal 5. And how will this be rectified before you start the programme.
