Aligning for the future
Staff in the School of Medicine are helping to realign our School for the future. Dean of the School, Professor Paul Worley, said “The environment in which our School operates has changed. The environment now is based around collaboration and interdisciplinary themes. We need to identify our particular areas of strength, the areas with which governments and health agencies are going to want to engage, and identify where can we offer value to their work. We know these agencies will be looking for collaborative teams to do developmental work, and we have tremendous strength in these areas – we just need to better organise ourselves around those strengths”.
Renewing our curricula, planning for 2010
Plans are well underway for reviewing and renewing the courses offered in the School of Medicine. Recommended changes will be the focus of the School’s 2008 Curriculum Conference at Middlebrook Winery on 17 October 2008.
The conference is being coordinated by Professor David Prideaux, Deputy Dean of the School and Head of the Department of Medical Education.
