Medicine

This webinar will be delivered by Deans of medical schools from three countries to provide an international perspective on the challenges faced, lessons learnt and innovations in medical education that arose out of the pandemic. 

This will be followed by a post-webinar virtual speed networking session, open to medical students across the globe, to network with their international peers and share their experiences coping with changes in medical education and training during the pandemic. 

The new COVID-19 omicron variant is a highly transmissible but relatively less virulent strain causing tidal waves of infection across the globe despite increasing vaccination rates . Infectious disease experts from Australia and India will come together to answer questions posed by ANU medical students on various aspects of the disease - focussing on points of difference from previous variants. This will include presentation, indications for admission, management, and impact of vaccination.
