TORT Centre Gallery
The TORT Centre at the School of Medicine currently resembles an art gallery due to the displaying of scientific research posters.
Thirty-one posters by students studying on the Master of Orthopaedic Surgery (MCh Orth) and the Intercalated BMSc in Applied Orthopaedic Technology courses are available for viewing at Level 6, TORT Centre. Please feel free to visit and learn about the varied and innovative research topics that have been carried out by this year’s intake of students. Posters will be available for viewing until 27th May.
“The designing and completion of a scientific poster is an extra skill that all our students are taught as an integral element of their studies which will aid them in presenting their research at conferences and symposiums in the future. The extensive lab facilities and cutting-edge equipment combined with staff expertise allows us the opportunity to give students such varied research study topics here at the TORT Centre” stated Professor Rami Abboud, Head of Department of Orthopaedic & Trauma Surgery.
