Evolutionary Medicine Month at UCLA
Event Name: Evolutionary Medicine Month at UCLA
Location: Ronald Reagan-UCLA Medical Center (RRUMC)
Date & Time: 02/8/2012 08:30 AM - 03/7/2012 09:30 AM
Evolutionary Medicine Month at UCLA will bring leaders from the field of evolutionary medicine to speak at the UCLA Department of Medicine Grand Rounds in February 2012 and early March 2012. The initiative will also bring UCLA evolutionary biologists into morning report and other medical settings to expose them to not only the culture of human medicine but the kinds of questions for which an evolutionary approach would be applicable. We believe that this is important so as to begin to share the culture of medical education with non-medically trained evolutionary biologists. We will also screen a popular film, “Contagion”, on the evening of February 29, 2012 with a post-film discussion. |
