Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI, Irish Coláiste Ríoga na Máinleá in Éirinn ) in Dublin is an Irish institute for the training of surgeons. In contrast to its sister institutes in Great Britain ( Royal College of Surgeons of England , Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh , Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow ), it not only offers qualifications for further training as a specialist, but also for basic medical training . It offers the usual university degrees (Bachelor and Master degrees, MD, a separate licentiate). It is part of the National University of Ireland as a recognized college .
The RCSI was founded in 1784 (with a confirmation by King George III. ) At the suggestion of the Dublin Society of Surgeons (founded in 1780) to offer any training for surgeons in Ireland at all. From the beginning there was no division into religions (as was usual in Ireland at that time). A corresponding training at Trinity College (Dublin) was only introduced in 1851. At the beginning of the 19th century, the college moved into its current headquarters, a classical building on York Street completed in 1810 . The training center has been located at Beaumont Hospital since the 1980s.
The RCSI is also active internationally in the further training of doctors (Dubai, Bahrain, Malaysia). For South Africa during apartheid , the college trained doctors from those parts of the population who were excluded from studying there. In 2010 there were around 3,300 students. They come from over 60 countries.
There are faculties for education in medicine, pharmacology and physiotherapy, as well as faculties for dentistry, sports medicine, radiology and midwives. The RCSI is also active in research.
The college awards honorary fellowships (also to personalities who are not medical professionals).
The corresponding institute of Irish doctors is the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland .
