What would an american student need to do to go to undergraduate med school in the UK or Ireland


What would an american student need to do to go to undergraduate med school in the UK or Ireland?
I am Irish but grew up in the states. My family has been planning for me to go to university in ireland or the UK. I want to go to medical school fresh from high school. I can take a year or two off if need be. I have no A levels. I have taken an honors biology class and I can take extra university level science courses. How do I make up for my lack of A levels in science? Is it ok if I do not have them? If you have any other advice I would be glad to hear it too. Thanks I can get a certificate in nursing, biology, or operating room technology before I go. Could that work instead?

Have a look here, its the most prestigious Uni in Ireland, a Medical degree from Trinity really is something. http://www.tcd.ie/

For medicine in the UK you willl need 7 AP classes. Or you could apply to a uni that has a foundation year (they are rare for medicine but do exist) that will bridge the gap between american HS and A Level knowledge. No idea on Ireland though.
