WORLD EXPERT IN LUNG DISORDERS TO VISIT UWA TO TRAIN LOCAL SPECIALISTS

Globally recognised respiratory physician, Professor Henri Colt, will visit The University of Western Australia’s Clinical Training & Education Centre later this month to share his expertise on international advances in the treatment and diagnosis of chronic lung disease and respiratory disorders. 

Prof Colt will be the International Keynote Speaker at the three-day Medical Thoracoscopy Course to be held at UWA’s CTEC on September 24 – 26.

Respiratory Physicians from around Australia will attend the unique CTEC Course to practice sophisticated and complex respiratory medicine techniques under Professor Colt’s guidance in CTEC’s innovative simulated hospital environment. 

Advancements in diagnostic procedures will ultimately lead to earlier detection  of life threatening respiratory disorders.

While in Perth Dr Colt will deliver a free one-hour Raine Lecture, ”Educational Aspects of Teaching and Assessing Medical Procedural Skills”.  The lecture will take place at CTEC on Wednesday 24th September at 5.30pm, and is open to all members of the public.  For more information or to reserve a seat, please phone 6488 8044.  RSVP essential.
