hmm, so thats how it works. I looked through the Cimsa website and it only showed the Canadian (not US) matches for 2010. Im guessing they dont have information on students matching into the US.

I am a 3rd year student in the graduate entry program at RCSI and I just heard the match results for 2011. We had a great year.

39/40 people who entered were matched, including final years and people who stayed for an intern year. ~95% matched into their top 3.

They should be sending us a summary document, but here is what I remember from the presentation.

2 - radiology
2 - optho

multiple general surgery including New York Pres/Cornell, University of Washington

multiple internal med including Univ. Pennsylvania, Mayo Scottsdale

Pediatrics at Baystate
Emergency Med at Baystate

1- prelim surgery at Johns Hopkins

I don't remember all the details, but everyone seemed really happy with the results.

Sorry for the delay, I've been on rotations and interviews. The following results are self-reported, so if someone didn't match and wasn't keen on sharing that information it obviously would not be included in the presentation they gave. Not every match is listed below. If anyone has specific questions about RCSI I would be happy to answer them candidly, just message me.

Well it's your word against ClenKeane's. Unless you're an RCSI student yourself and have more firsthand info than his, don't talk about secondhand info that you can't claim 100% certainty for.

If they went unmatched, they certainly didn't make it public. The information in the presentation was shared voluntarily; the school does not keep official records to my knowledge. In general, those who have worked hard and applied broadly have had no trouble matching into their top choices. In my experience, training in Ireland has actually allowed me to stand out at interviews and generate easy talking points.
