MDCL 2232
McMaster University, 1280 Main St W, Hamilton ON

The Michael G DeGroote Health Leadership Academy is proud to host a Collaboratorium Talk on Interdisciplinary Projects in Medicine.

Learn about the historical journey of interdisciplinary approaches in medicine and the importance they are known to play on team work, evidence-based medicine and delivery of patient care.

Dr Whyte will elaborate on the top three examples that have best demonstrated the interdisciplinary nature of medical practices at McMaster and he will discuss future opportunities to further spur interdisciplinary initiatives and approaches that merit our attention.

Our Collaboratorium is a place to learn about and share health innovations that are being nurtured within McMaster University, and we’ve designed a series of talks to introduce you to new academic content, pique your interest in new pedagogues, and highlight projects underway in health innovation.

This event is free for a limited number of registrants.
