Students explore medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy and advanced therapeutic technologies programmes at RCSI Open Day

More than 500 students from second-level schools throughout Ireland will learn about life as a medical, pharmacy, physiotherapy and advanced therapeutic technologies (ATT) student at the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences Open Day 2023 today.

At the daylong event, Leaving Certificate students will explore the RCSI SIM Centre for Simulation Education and Research, a facility designed to mirror a real hospital environment, with surgical and clinical skills laboratories, a flexible mock operating theatre/emergency room and both inpatient and outpatient rooms. Interactive workshops give them the unique opportunity to get hands-on insights. Attendees will also hear from current students, graduates and RCSI faculty about student life and career options.

RCSI Vice Chancellor Professor Cathal Kelly, said: “We are delighted to return to our in-person open days at RCSI. It is always a pleasure to welcome such engaged and enthusiastic students through the doors to give them a real taste of what their healthcare education in RCSI could entail and how we can support them in achieving their career goals.”

In the medicine workshop, students can experience a delivery by a birthing mannequin and perform surgical stitching on dummy patients. The physiotherapy workshops use hands-on practical methods to show students the role of a physiotherapist in the management of people with lung conditions and rehabilitation of ankle injuries. Students also get the chance to learn how the skills and knowledge of pharmacists contribute to patient care and experience the art of making and analysing drug delivery systems in the pharmacy and ATT workshops.
