Guest lectures and podcasts
In the Faculty of Health Sciences, we strive to bring in leaders in the field to speak to faculty, staff and students on a number of wide-ranging health and health-related topics. Working with the Teaching and Learning Centre, these speaking engagements are filmed so they can be used for educational purposes following the event.
