    The third edition of the SMJ was published in September of 2023 and features an outstanding collection of student work.

    Vol. 2 (2021)

    The second edition of the SMJ was released in 2021. The onset of the pandemic marked a despondent time for most of us, and the second edition of the Student Medical Journal brings with it the transition to another year of hope and prosperity. The journal team believes that nothing marks a better illustration of transition than the renaissance period. Likewise, medical research has always been an intimidating and an out-of-reach concept. We hope that through this publication, we can further encourage student involvement in research and lift uncertainties in young researchers.

    Vol. 1 (2019)

    The first edition of the UCC Student Medical Journal was released in 2019 just before the COVID-19 pandemic. During a time of great uncertainty, we are proud to provide this opportunity for students to share their thoughts on the current and future status of healthcare. Our experiences and insights help us grow in our understanding of humanity, which is where quality research questions lie. This edition discusses the ethical dilemmas arising from the first pandemic in a century, travels to all parts of the world to inquire about global equity, and reviews critical questions at the forefront of medicine.
