In 1961, Eye and Ear ophthalmologist, Dr John Colvin started giving comprehensive lectures. For 35 years he inspired generations of medical students to learn more about ophthalmology. Today, these important learning and development opportunities continue.
The John Colvin Ophthalmology Lecture Series is pitched for delivery at the level of a general medical graduate and will cover a range of ophthalmology topics and conditions.
Our next Ophthalmology Lecture Series will commence on Tuesday 20 May 2025. Students will need to register their attendance in advance, and it is recommended to watch a pre-viewing of the recorded lecture to participate in the live online lecture. The live online lecture will not be recorded.
The pre-recorded lectures will be emailed to students who have registered for the event the week prior to the lecture.
