The JKU’s medTALK series at the medLOFT (JKU MED Campus) focuses on the future of medicine ranging from recent research findings and healthcare, to patient care.

The JKU aims to create a platform six times a year to not only explore research and innovation in medicine, but also give physicians and media and medical industry experts an opportunity to discuss controversial topics. The JKU medTALK series is open to the public (kindly sign up in advance to attend).
