How can we more effectively help disadvantaged children in South Australia?
In a culture that values individual success in a competitive environment, some children are lucky and endowed with genetic strengths and supportive family environments. Others are unlucky with their roll of the genetic and family dice. Some are very unlucky and face challenges of a magnitude unknown to their peers. We should never forget that no child chooses their genes or their family environment. Should we tell these unlucky children that they are simply 'out of luck' or should we try and even life's playing field?

Faculty of Health Sciences Executive Dean's Public Lecture presented by Professor Ian Symonds, Dean of Medicine, The University of Adelaide
As the new generation (born since the start of the millennium) enters medical school, they will work in a very different health care system to the one most of their teachers trained in. Single diagnosis acute disorders replaced by chronic multi-systems disease, technology not even imagined 20 years ago and care delivered by multidisciplinary teams will be just some of these changes. At the same time the expectations of these 'Millennials' for their own careers will surely be as different as those of Gen Y have been before them.
In this talk Professor Symonds will outline how medical training has evolved over the last 100 years and is changing to meet the needs of both its students and their future patients and answer the question " Do we have a health education system that is fit for purpose for 21st century practice?"
