The submission deadline for the RCSIsmj Ethics Prize 2012-2013 has been set at: 11:59pm Monday, November 12, 2012.

All submissions should be sent to submissionssmj@rcsi.ie.

We invite all students to submit an essay discussing the ethical questions raised in the case study presented. Medical ethics is an essential aspect of the medical curriculum and we hope to encourage RCSI students to think critically about ethical situations that arise during their education and subsequent careers.

All essays will be reviewed by a faculty panel of experts and the winning essay will be published in the 2013 print edition of the RCSIsmj.
