2009 Student Presentaion Symposium
2nd November, 2009. Health Sciences 2, Rooms 224 & 223	Sponsored by REIS Orthopaedic and Surgical Services

The Student Presentation Symposium, sponsored by Reis Orthopaedics and Surgical Services, showcases the work of our honours and third year students completing their Independent Study Project.

Students completing the Independent Study Project undertake either a research and development (R&D) type project or complete a variety of different ‘Clinical Challenges’ that aim to develop the same suite of skills using real-world scenarios more typical of a clinical environment.

The morning session is dedicated to the research undertaken by the honours and R&D students while the afternoon session showcases the Clinical Challenge presentations.

The student presentations are assessed - so come along and lend your support.

Please join us for a simple barbeque lunch or refreshment at the end of the symposium and meet with colleagues, students and visitors from Kobe College Japan.
