How to apply
Applications for CST 2026 will open on 14 October and close on 11 November 2025.
It is expected that all interviews for CST 2026 will take place in person in RCSI in spring 2026. A CST intake webinar will be held on 2 October 2025. Further information and links will be available here closer to the time.
All applicants for the CST programme at RCSI must:
- Submit evidence of eligibility for registration on the Irish Medical Council at time of submission of programme application. Please note that this means explicit confirmation that you are eligible to pay your annual fee and register not that you are eligible to apply for registration.
- Be able to communicate clearly with patients and colleagues (details of which are outlined in the HSE's English language requirements document below).
