About Us
Young Surgeons Ireland is a student-led, non-commercial initiative created to support Irish medical students with a passion for surgical research.

-
Be interested in or involved with research related to surgery.

Be of any citizenship or background, as long as the above conditions are met.
Each applicant is allowed one submission only via the Google Form linked on our website. Multiple submissions will lead to disqualification.
