What is UCF MEDTalk?
MEDTalk events are TED Talk-type events featuring a prominent College of Medicine faculty member presenting his or her work and research and how it correlates to a current social hot topic. UCF MedTalk is a special series of informal talks on current and innovative issues in medicine. These events include opportunities for networking, a casual location, plain language and a comfortable atmosphere for all. Each researcher or physician will provide a brief presentation followed by a Q&A session. All are encouraged to join this unique conversation.
