The Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences is proud to present the 2nd Biennial Education Research Symposium on Friday 24 May 2013.

The Symposium aims to enrich the teaching and learning experience by providing staff and students an opportunity to share their ideas, projects and best practices in areas of medical and health professional education across all schools in the Faculty.

The event will be a prelude to the annual Faculty Excellence in Teaching Awards Ceremony, and in the same spirit of the awards, will provide an opportunity to explore themes of mutual interest in a community of educators and to recognise the accomplishments of students and staff.

Symposium

A full program of events is offered this year, including the keynote address by Distinguished Visiting Scholar, Professor Lambert Schuwirth on the reliability of clinical assessment, a research showcase of 18 staff and student presentations from a cross-section of disciplines, and the 2013 Excellence in Teaching Awards Ceremony.

The event gives our staff and students a chance to share their research and accomplishments with the wider Faculty community and is a great opportunity to hear about the innovative research ideas and projects that are being undertaken.

 Listed below are the names of the presenters who will showcase their work this year.  Full program details can be found in the Program Booklet below.
