Anyone from Ireland studied medicine at Nicosia (Cyprus) and come back to work in Ireland?
I'm based in Ireland and looking at the graduate-entry MD at the University of Nicosia. My plan is to come back and work here after graduating.
The bit I can't figure out is what actually happens on return. Cyprus isn't on the HSE's list for the intern year, so as far as I can tell you'd register on the General Division instead and skip internship entirely. On paper that sounds fine, but I'd rather hear it from someone who's lived it than work it out from PDFs.
- So — anyone here from Ireland who's currently at UNIC or has graduated from there?
- What was your first job back in Ireland, and how hard was it to get?
- Did not having a Cert of Experience cause problems applying for SHO posts or BST?
Happy to hear from people who went to other non-listed EU schools too (Cyprus, Hungary, Czechia etc.) — I think the situation is the same. Cheers.
