"Preparing Medical Students for Acute Care Practice"

This MD study explores how undergraduate experiences of acute care situations (real and simulated) influence preparedness in new graduates.
Key words: Medical Education, Acute Care, Simulation

Adrian Falconer will speak on:
"The Mechanical Loading of Chondrocytes"
I have developed a method by which to explore the effect of the mechanical loading of chondrocytes in 3D culture using a BioPress system. Using this method, I have attempted to explore the effect of mechanical loading on the gene and protein expression of genes with relevance to Osteoarthritis.
Keywords: Mechanobiology, Osteoarthritis, Inflammation
Chair: Leo Gurney
