This year the Faculty has invited Year 5 and 6 medical students based in Northland to present interesting cases that they have been involved with during their GP attachments. The students will do a poster presentation and GPs will be invited to select a winning poster (with a $250 prize attached).

Our highlighted presenter this week is Brandon Wong. Brandon is known to most of us as a highly approachable physician based at Whangarei Hospital. His talk is titled All puffed out and nowhere to go. Brandon will present a number of different cases, that he sees referred to him from general practice, illustrating the myriad of causes of shortness of breath.
