Yes, you can pursue the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (MRCPI) after joining the Irish medical system as a registered or senior house officer.

You must have completed your primary medical degree, and at least six months must have passed since graduation before attempting the MRCPI exams. The process involves:
- Part I: Written exam in general internal medicine
- Part II: Clinical exam assessing practical skills

If you already hold certain postgraduate qualifications (like MRCP UK), you may be exempt from Part I. Requirements and exemptions are subject to change.

If you need guidance on eligibility or the application process, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
