Medicine is a unique course in that students study a broad range of subjects with the primary goal of understanding the science and practice of healing. Medicine and healthcare are constantly evolving as new knowledge and therapies emerge to prevent and treat illness. Each day brings a new patient with new healthcare challenges. Founded in 1711, the School of Medicine at Trinity has played a central role in the golden age of Irish medicine. Medical students at Trinity follow a five-year programme. Following graduation, students are required to spend one year as an intern in an approved post before becoming a fully registered medical practitioner.Trinity’s two main general teaching hospitals, St. James’s Hospital and Tallaght Hospital, are up-to-date tertiary level hospitals with several specialist units. Specialist affiliated hospitals include The Coombe Hospital, Naas General Hospital, the National Rehabilitation Hospital, Noble’s Hospital, CHI at Crumlin, Our Lady’s Hospice and Care Services (Harold’s Cross and Blackrock), Peamount Hospital, the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital, and St. Patrick’s University Hospital.
