I want to be a consultant Dermatologist in Ireland.
If I'm an American citizen, American med-school grad, and I finish a 3-year American residency for Dermatology, is that the same as the Irish BST and HST? Or are they not equivalent? Would adding on a fellowship make it equivalent? Or no?
I suppose what I'm asking is... As an American dermatologist, what do I have to do (residency, fellowship, etc) to become a consultant dermatologist in Ireland?
Any thoughts?
P.S. Please note, I've already asked the Irish health boards and their answers are incredibly confusing. They can't seem to wrap their minds around any sort of "equivalence" between American specialists and Irish specialists (or study/practice time length). The way it was phrased to me, it's almost like an American Dermatologist is completely different from an Irish Dermatologist.
