Particularly important to remember that a core rationale for establishment of #GraduateEntryMedicine in Ireland was to widen #access to study #medicine (Fottrell 2006 surl.li/dixma) No loan= no access

As much as I hate having my loan hanging over me, I’ll always be grateful for it. Not allowing others the same chances I had is a massive mistake. We’ve always wanted to diversify medicine, instead we’re making it inaccessible to all except the richest in society.

From a non medic family I relied almost exclusively on my AIB loan to pay my fees and living expenses while studying UL School of Medicine (still paying it off!). Medicine needs doctors from all walks of life and backgrounds. Support equal access to medical education.

I couldn’t have accessed Medicine as a Graduate without the assistance of a loan. This is a vital component of being able to study Graduate Entry Medicine. It needs to be continued.

I wouldn’t be a doctor without this loan. As much as I detest the 100k hanging over me, I’m grateful for it. Medicine needs doctors from all socioeconomic backgrounds and this facilitates that. A diverse medical workforce for a diverse population.

I’ve signed ✔️

Spread the word about the wonderful AccessMed Ireland HPAT scholarship. Such a wonderful initiative 👏

Still a few days left to apply for this HPAT scholarship. This support is great for those who are eligible but it’s probably time for an overhaul of the application process. €152.80 to sit HPAT, €30-€45 CAO fee & that’s before the prep courses. Not exactly accessible to all.
