Hi guys. I am a final med at UCC and we are having a little issue with our uni and conferrings (late June, no degrees before then = late start to residencies essentially). I need to know how students graduating from RCSI and Galway handle this issue when goign home-how do you get your degree in time to register with a state or Provincial medical board and then apply for J-1 visas if applicable? We are in a bit of a quandary here what with only getting our degrees on June 20th and having to start on July 1st all registered and everything (and a few people have been told if they start late they won't be starting at all). I need to know if your schools have a mechanism where you can ask to get the degree early, or at least a copy of it so you can get it certified and start the registration process. Apparently this can be done as students at UCD do it. My e.mail address is
