The ANU Medical Students’ Society is honoured to welcome His Excellency Vasyl Myroshnychenko, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Ukraine to Australia and New Zealand, to participate in this event.
The invasion in Ukraine has produced one of the most severe refugee crises in recent history. As Australia continues to welcome an increasing number of Ukrainian refugees and migrants in coming years, it is vitally important that our healthcare practitioners have an awareness of the issues and challenges they are facing.
In discussing this topic, His Excellency will be joined by:
Dr Tanya Dus: Ukrainian-Australian psychiatrist, who has been working to build a support network for refugees who have experienced war trauma.
Mr Stefan Romaniw, OAM: Prominent community leader, and advocate for education and language learning for those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
This free event will seek to ensure that healthcare students and professionals are aware of the cultural nuances for supporting this community, and are equipped with an understanding of how best to provide tailored support.
Registration: Registration is essential. This event allows for in-person or online participation. Webinar details will be emailed closer to the date.
Location: Finkel Lecture Theatre, 131 Garran Road, Acton, ACT 2601 — or online
