And here is the first ever SmedEd Journal club of this year! This is an initiative encouraged by the Standing Committee on Medical Education to encourage students to critique journal articles in a fun and tranquil environment (in front of your peers)

In light of the Irish Student's alliance for child care, AMSI TCD AMSI RCSIand AMSI UCD are delighted to be working with the TCD Paediatric Society and the UCD Paediatric Society to bring the first topic titled "Paediatric infections- Home & Away", on Tuesday the 30th of January at 7pm at the Stanley Quek Theatre at the Trinity Biomedical Science's institute, where we will be discussing journal articles in paeditriatic infections in Ireland and the UK as well tropical paediatric infections.

We are delighted to announce that for our first SmeEd journal club, we have a massive line up of special guests that include Professor Tom Rogers, Consultant clinical Microbiologist and head of clinical Microbiology at St.James' Hospital, Assistant professor of paediatrics, Dr. Judith Meehan and Professor Aengus O'Marcaigh, Consultant paediatric haematologist at Crumlin's Children's Hospital!

After the journal club, join us for our reception, where as usual free wine and delicious goodies will be provided! Also the best speaker on the night will receive a prize! 
We will be looking for 3-5 students from across the 3 medical schools to speak on the night, where if you have articles available in relation to the topic you can contact us at lome.amsitcd@gmail.com. If you're interested and would like to present, but don't have a journal in mind, we can provide that for you, again send us an email at lome.amsitcd@gmail.com!
