Programme profile
The medical programme at Trinity is a challenging but highly rewarding experience. The academic requirements are high and there will be considerable demands on your time. As medicine is ultimately about the care of people, you will also need to feel comfortable in a people-oriented environment where teamwork will be equally as valuable as your individual contribution.
During years 4 and 5, the emphasis is on continuous enhancement of the skills and attitudes acquired in the first three years of the course. There is, of course, some acquisition of important new knowledge and most of this is achieved through interaction with a wide range of consultants and mentors both on the wards and at various hospital conferences. The undergraduate student becomes an integrated member of each team to which s/he is attached and is expected to participate fully in all aspects of that team
