A survey of recent GP graduates in Ireland found that 96 percent stayed in the country to work as a GP, with 78.4 percent planning to stay long term. Only three percent planned to move abroad. The Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) reported a growing demand for GPs, improved financial opportunities, and various career options making general practice an attractive career choice. The ICGP is responsible for training GPs with a record 350 trainees accepted into the program this year, a 22 percent increase from last year. They have also recruited over 100 international medical graduates to work in rural practices.
