The College of Psychiatrists of Ireland (CPsychI) is accredited by the Medical Council of Ireland as the responsible body for delivering postgraduate training in psychiatry in Ireland. We aim to provide the highest standard of training for qualified doctors seeking to undertake specialist training in psychiatry at both basic and higher ‘Specialist’ level. We also provide support to Specialist members who guide trainee doctors on their training journey; and to non-training NCHDs through the CPD-SS programme.
