Join Dr Ian Maddocks as he reflects on the difficulties for the doctor in aspiring after the idea of the Renaissance Man. Fridays at the Library, 3.30pm, 19 August, Noel Stockdale Room, Central Library.

In reviewing some of his own story, Dr Ian Maddocks, formerly Professor of Palliative Care at Flinders, will raise the question of whether the Renaissance Man has been lost.
Fridays at the Library, 3.30pm, 19 August, Noel Stockdale Room, Central Library.
