The UCC Student Medical Journal's 4th edition is here! We are excited to present the hard work of UCC medical students, ranging from original research, case reports, systematic reviews to medical exchange experiences.

This edition also boasts the SMJ's first ever special feature, highlighting the emerging field of personalized medicine. A diverse array of UCC Medical Societies have provided their thoughts on what personalized medicine means in their individual disciplines, and have showcased innovative technologies that are advancing individualized care.

Thank you to our authors, faculty reviewers, SMJ team and Medical Research and Technology Committee for their contributions to this exciting new edition!
