The IUMC partner universities have a reputation for producing excellent clinicians and subsequently, Irish-trained doctors hold leading positions in the world’s top medical institutes. This is due in no small part to the early, consistent and varied clinical exposure that is a hallmark of medical training in Ireland.

This clinical excellence is augmented by Irish graduates’ superb communication and critical thinking skills. Good communication skills are intrinsic to the practice of Medicine and Dentistry and Irish-trained doctors have a unique ability to explain, to teach and to communicate information.

Scientific research and innovation are part of Ireland’s national strategy. Research features highly in Irish medical education and all of the medical schools have diverse research portfolios and are aligned with leading research institutes.
