Event Details

The RCSI School of Postgraduate Studies is accepting applications from interested registrars/specialist registrars for the StAR MD Programme, to commence in July 2020. This programme encompasses funded MD fees for two years sponsored by a private hospital, a RCSI research consumable budget (€10,000 p.a. for two years) and a paid clinical commitment to Highfield Healthcare, Hermitage Medical Clinic or Blackrock Clinic.

The programme is a highly prestigious and unique opportunity for registrars and specialist registrars who are on a career trajectory towards consultant level.

The StAR MD by dissertation is a body of work representing two calendar years of research activity and holds a place among the higher doctorates at level 10 on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ). The MD is a key element in the professional training of clinicians, and in order to graduate with the MD degree, you must provide evidence of an original contribution to any area of medicine, surgery, psychiatry or medical science.

RCSI is committed to supporting an effective supervisory system for each candidate registered for the MD and thus a principal and co-supervisor is appointed for each StAR MD candidate.

Interested applicants should have:

  • Obtained general or trainee specialist registration with the Irish Medical Council
  • Previously undertaken research or audit projects at undergraduate and/or  postgraduate level
  • Presentations and publications confirming the quality of their research activity

The closing date for applications is 6 Jan 2020, with interviews of shortlisted candidates expected to take place late January/early February. For more details on the Programme, and to apply, please visit the website here.
