The UQMS Research Colloquium is shaping up to an excellent program with eminent speakers, informative sessions and a showcase of the amazing research being conducted by your fellow medical students. While the much anticipated signup for the 6th October (yes, you do get the day off med school) will begin shortly - we are currently still accepting abstracts for posters and oral presentations. But be quick - Abstracts close on the 21st September. Read More for details. 

 

The University of Queensland Medical Society is proud to present the 53rd E.S. Meyers Memorial Lecture - "Disasters, Rescue and Retrieval". This year's orator is Dr Paul Luckin, a world expert in Search and Rescue (SAR) and survivability. In his illustrated address, Dr Luckin will cover some interesting rescues in Africa and Australia, and aspects of rescue in Australia today. He will touch on the resuscitation of our injured civilians in the Bali Bombings, and highlight some of the difficulties in retrieval of multiple casualties. His oration will include an account of his team's management of critically injured survivors of the Boxing Day Tsunami in Banda Aceh.

 

The annual UQMS Clinical Teaching Awards will be presented at the beginning of the evening. For seating purposes, please register your attendance here.
