This is a past event

Learn how findings in aviation are changing education for medical students and doctors.

For 40 years, the aviation industry has worked with psychologists to help them improve safety by analysing the behaviour of pilots on the flight deck.  Come and hear about some of the ways that similar work in healthcare is changing education for medical students and doctors.

Our CafeMED Specials series takes place once a month at the Suttie Centre on Aberdeen's Foresterhill campus. Sessions take place October through to December. They are free to attend. No booking is required and places are allocated on the first-come basis. A clinician and a researcher talk about a medical subject and all talks are pitched at a very accessible level, whether a healthcare student of the future, someone impacted by the topic or you just think the talk sounds interesting everyone is welcome to attend. We leave ample time for audience questions and discussion. The main CaféMED series will run in the Suttie Centre Café from January to May.
