We are excited to announce our Queensland Clinical Sciences Symposium 2021.
Do you want to push the boundaries of knowledge as part of your career in medicine or health? And take what you learn at the bedside to change and improve health and care?
*** Note: registration closes at midday, Friday 19 March ***
Join us for the third annual Queensland Clinical Sciences Symposium, Building Bridges and Breaking Boundaries, to learn about how you can do just that from some of Australia’s leading clinician scientists and health researchers.
Our morning session – Building Bridges – will focus on how, as a clinician scientist, you can bridge divides throughout your career. Get insights into pathways and important skills to develop in this career:
- push the boundaries of knowledge as part of your career in medicine or health? And take what you learn at the bedside to change and improve health and care?
- Hear about what it is like to work between disciplines and across the world to progress human understanding of health and medicine.
Our afternoon session – Breaking Boundaries – will bring you visions for the future of medicine – you will hear about emerging fields, concepts and ‘big ideas’ that could inspire and form part of your future career.
Our speakers and panellists come from a diverse range of specialties and research interests, spanning the entire spectrum from the lab bench, clinical trials, and wider health policy.
Speakers:
- Professor Emeritus Alan Mackay-Sim, neural stem cell scientist and 2017 Australian of the Year
- Professor Bala Venkatesh FAHMS, intensive care medicine, past-President of CICM
- Professor Tammy Hoffman OAM FAHMS, evidence-based practice, occupational therapist
