OMSRS – now for a blog!
Welcome to the new weblog for the Otago Medical School Research Society.
While our previous webpage will remain as an archive, this weblog will bring you up-to-date news of coming events, as well as highlighting the winners of our competitions.
Out with old in with the new… but seriously, we thank those members of the committee who are leaving to pursue other agendas, as well as those who are staying on for another stint (perhaps in a new role), and welcome new members. This year our new President is Assoc. Professor Shyamal Das (School of Pharmacy), who is taking up the reins from immediate past President Assoc. Professor Gisela Sole(School of Physiotherapy). A full list of committee members can be found HERE.
So, without further ado, on with the blog!
