Foreword message [Matthew Buttigieg]

Abstract

The MMSA's Minima Medica Journal made its resurgence last year during MMSA SCOME's Research Conference following a hiatus, prior to which it was known as Minima Medicamenta. The relaunch, coordinated by then Medical Education Officer and current MMSA President, Gloria Montebello, included 6 literature reviews and case reports and was extremely well received. I am honoured to be launching the 2021 edition of Minima Medica, paving the path to the Journal's revival as an annual Journal. Minima Medica is one of the first, if not the first opportunity for our fellow medical students to delve into the world of publications and academia. With a total of 13 articles, more than double the number present in last year's edition, the 2021 edition of Minima Medica publication sees 15 future doctors publish literature reviews and case reports, which have all been reviewed by established Academics and Professors at the University of Malta.
