Medical Research: Bench to Bedside Department of Medicine (RMH)

RHD Seminar Series

Postgraduate seminars give students the opportunity to present their research projects during the confirmation process and to provide annual progress updates. We strongly encourage students and staff to attend these presentations; independent input and feedback is greatly valued and helps the students to consolidate their ideas.  All welcome.

To schedule your seminars please contact the GR Programs Coordinator (RMH) - Kim Ng- kmng@unimelb.edu.au or on 8344 3296.
