International GP Opportunity – 2-Year Pathway to Specialist GP Registration in Ireland
Are you an experienced Family Medicine / General Practitioner trained outside Ireland and interested in progressing to Specialist GP Registration?
Ireland offers a structured 2-year pathway for experienced international GPs / Family Medicine doctors to transition into Irish general practice while preparing for the MICGP examinations and entry to the Specialist Register.
You will work in a participating rural GP practice, supported by clinical mentorship, structured self-directed education, and protected learning provided by the Irish College of GPs.
What the programme offers
* A 2-year structured pathway in Irish general practice
* Employment within an established GP practice
* A dedicated GP trainer and clinical mentor
* Formal induction and ongoing professional development
* Preparation for MICGP examinations
* A clear route toward Specialist Medical Council Registration in the Division of General Practice in Ireland
Essential criteria
* Minimum 36 months of recent and relevant experience in Family Medicine / General Practice in a primary care setting
* Additional hospital experience including General Medicine and Paediatrics (minimum 3 months each)
* Eligibility for registration with the Irish Medical Council (General Division)
* Evidence of English language proficiency where required
This programme is designed for experienced GPs who are capable of practising independently in a community-based primary care setting and who are seeking a supported pathway to long-term practice in Ireland.
Important:
This is not a training programme, but a conversion pathway that recognises and values your existing Family Medicine experience.
Experience that is not counted as Family Medicine includes:
* Locum work
* Out-of-hours GP service work
* Emergency medicine
* Walk-in clinic work without continuity of care
Apply now with your CV clearly detailing your Family Medicine experience , including at least 36 months in primary care or on a cruise ship, and showing a minimum of 3 months hospital experience in both Paediatrics and Internal Medicine.
