About the Journal
Welcome to the TSMJ website!
The Trinity Student Medical Journal is intended to provide an inclusive platform for students to communicate current medical research, opinions, and thoughts to other students, faculty members, and faculty of affiliated hospitals and institutions. We publish articles relating to many aspects of medicine including scientific research and clinical experience. Articles are accepted from students in medicine and other related fields, as it is our view that medicine is the meeting point of many disciplines. The aim of the Journal is to provide a medium that is responsive to the rapidly changing face of contemporary medicine and is able to grow and expand as rapidly as the subject.
We are the longest-running Student Medical Journal in Ireland and recently celebrated our 25h Anniversary!

Current Issue
The 23rd volume explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence in modern medicine, showcasing its growing impact across clinical care, education, and global health. This volume features a wide range of articles, from AI-assisted neonatal care in low-resource settings to the integration of AI into general practice, highlighting both its potential and the ethical challenges it raises. Alongside this focus, the issue includes diverse contributions spanning stroke treatments, COVID-19, appendicitis management, and the evolving fentanyl crisis. Thoughtful pieces on medical ethics and emerging diagnostics round out this dynamic, forward-looking edition. In keeping with the theme of this edition, and our opening article, let us remember the core principle of the Hippocratic Oath: primum non nocere. This guiding tenet serves as a reminder to embrace the integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare, while always keeping our primary duty to do no harm at the forefront of innovation.
