Description of SYDNEY immunology4bpts course 2019

The immunology4bpts course aims to provide essential knowledge about the basic science of the immune system, and how this translates into clinical medicine. It will give a thorough coverage of basic immunobiology, and use this background to explain some specific immunological conditions, including immunodeficiency and vasculitis. The practice of medicine right now is in the process of being revolutionised by the advent of new therapeutics, mostly biologicals, almost all targeting basic immunological mechanisms in order to alter disease processes, and this is occurring in almost all specialities of medicine. This course will therefore give trainees of all disciplines the skills necessary to understand these agents into the future and be able to apply those skills to whatever speciality they choose.

Please note we are holding two immunology4bpts courses this year- one in Sydney 26th and 27th October 2019 and one in  Melbourne 14-15th September 2019- both courses will present the same content but the speakers will vary. We advise that you book early to secure your place in either of these venues. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER FOR THE CORRECT VENUE as changing will involve refunding the first course (with cancellation fee) and re-registering for the alternate course.

Conditions:

Registration closes when the course is full.

Places are strictly limited so please register as soon as possible. A full refund is available to those who cancel in writing before the 26th September, 2019 for the Sydney Course. We regret that due to the costs of catering and printing of the notes, no refund will be possible after the 26th September 2019 for the Sydney Course.

When all places have been filled we encourage you to place your name on the waiting list, as we often have cancellations, right up to the course date. Should a place become available you will be contacted via email and have 24 hours to accept, otherwise your place will be offered to another trainee.

Late registration may be available at the discretion of the secretariat, but will incur a $50 late fee. Please contact the secretariat for availability.

Please note that the majority of lectures will be given by a single lecturer: in the event that Prof Fulcher is unavailable due to ill health or other unforeseen circumstances, a full refund of registration will be made (minus any booking and processing fees), but unfortunately no travel or other expenses incurred can be refunded. Interstate registrants may therefore wish to take out travel insurance, ensuring that such an eventuality is covered by the specific policy.
