View Vol. 1 (2019): UCC Student Medical Journal

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.
