The final results of over 350 medical students at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences were delivered in a live reading today, Wednesday, 15 May.

Continuing a tradition spanning almost 70 years, the final-year results were read out from the stairs at the RCSI campus at St Stephen’s Green. Students were present both in person and via livestream to receive their results and celebrate as they embark on their new career as doctors. 

The students were addressed by Professor Arnold Hill, Dean of Medical Programmes at RCSI; and Professor Gerry McElvaney, Head of the RCSI School of Medicine before Kenny Franks from the Student, Academic and Regulatory Affairs team officially announced the results.

Professor Cathal Kelly, Vice Chancellor of RCSI remarked on the occasion: “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2024. On their journey to this special day, they have shown steadfast dedication and exceptional academic endeavour.

“I am immensely proud of each of them as their years of hard work and dedication come to fruition. As they step into their careers in medicine, I am confident they will continue to excel applying the skills and knowledge they have learned at RCSI.”

The announcement of the results marks the beginning of a series of celebratory events for the medicine class of 2024, culminating in the School of Medicine Conferring Ceremony on 6 June.
