Basic Specialist Training in the Specialty of Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Basic Specialist Training (BST) in Obstetrics and Gynaecology is the first step towards specialisation in obstetrics and gynaecology.

Basic Specialist Training (BST) is a hospital-based training programme completed in Senior House Officer (SHO) posts. It prepares you for Higher Specialist Training (HST), which is the final stage of training.

Completion of the intern year is an essential entry requirement.

BST is structured so that you rotate to a different post every three or six months, letting you experience different subspecialties and clinical teams. All posts approved for BST in Ireland are full-time and salaried.

In addition to supervised clinical training in the hospital, you will need to complete exams and courses designed to help you to develop professionally and acquire the skills and knowledge needed to provide excellent patient care.

A three-year clinical course, completion of BST in Obstetrics and Gynaecology begins your journey to become a obstetrician/gynaecologist in Ireland.

It is an essential entry requirement for Higher Specialist Training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
