The University of Kansas School of Medicine in Wichita explores various health
issues in the Joseph C. Meek Live and Learn lecture series.
KUSM-W, KMUW and the Medical Society of Sedgwick County are sponsoring the
Live and Learn Lecture series, which addresses important issues in today's
critical health care environment. To honor its former dean, the 2004-2005
presentations have been officially titled The Joseph C. Meek Live & Learn
Lecture Series.
The lectures will be presented at 11:30 a.m., the second Tuesday of each
month by KUSM-W faculty, with time allotted for questions and discussion.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch, although light snacks and
beverages will be available at each lecture. Please see below for a schedule and
lecture topics.
Although there is no admission charge and walk-ins are welcome, reservations
are requested through University Relations, 316-293-2643, to ensure sufficient
seating and refreshments are available.
The lectures take place in the Sunflower room at the KU School of Medicine,
Wichita, at 1010 N. Kansas in Wichita.
