Their topics will cover health technology assessment, big data in healthcare, and fostering new leadership in medical academia.
Professor Canny said he would be talking about education strategies to develop leaders in medical research and academia.
“A huge challenge facing the health care sector on a global scale is the development of the next generation of leaders to advance knowledge and translate research into practice. At this meeting I will have the opportunity to share innovations we have piloted at Monash and at the same time learn about the most successful interventions elsewhere,” he said.
The summit is being hosted by Kyoto University, with the co-host being Fukushima Medical University.
