UCC Student Medical Journal 5th Edition

Abstract

We are so pleased to present the Fifth Edition of the Student Medical Journal! Another year's hard work by UCC's medical students is on display, with an impressive array of abstracts, ethical discussion, reviews and original research. This year's special edition focuses on diversity and cultural differences in medicine, interpreted through the unique lenses of UCC's medical societies. This edition also boasts several SMJ firsts, including the publication of conference abstracts from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland's Neurovision Conference, as well as UCC's own Student Research Conference! As the SMJ continues to grow, we are always grateful for the dedication and support of our editorial team, our faculty and peer reviewers, and the authors who make these editions possible! Happy reading!
