Who We Are

A society built on heritage, healthcare and home.

“The bridge between Singapore and Ireland — carried by every cohort since 2007.”

The Singapore Medical Society of Ireland (SMSI) is a non-profit, student-run organisation representing Singaporeans pursuing Medicine, Dentistry and Allied Healthcare in the Republic of Ireland — the largest Singaporean student body in ROI with 200 undergraduates and 600 alumni across five universities.
SMSI is the primary interface between Singapore’s healthcare organisations and our members — sharing training and career opportunities, grants, and news from Singapore’s healthcare system, while building a close-knit community through social events and outreach.
