HOPE4HEALTH - HORIZONS Seminars

HORIZONS Seminars

The HORIZONS Seminar Series welcomes guest speakers from across the national and international medical community to the Griffith University Centre for Medicine and Oral Health. Speakers are invited to share first hand experiences from their careers in the health industry. These presentations are aimed at first and second year medicine students, but are open to all H4H members and the wider public.

Previous seminar topics have ranged from practicing medicine in the slums of Calcutta to the medical response by the Australian Defence Force in the wake of the Boxing Day Tsunami. The seminars aim to provide H4H members with new and varied perspectives of medicine and health care, possible career options and highlight experiences that are available outside the standard curriculum.
