GGMC Educational Webinar Series

Upcoming Webinar: November 21, 2024 | 9:00 am EST | 2:00 PM UK

Join Us Each Month

The GGMC Educational Webinar Series, established and previously hosted by the International Health Cohorts Consortium (IHCC), has been expanded to include both consortiums within the GGMC organization. The series brings together leaders, educators, researchers, and professionals with all levels of expertise to share health sciences initiatives taking place in their respective fields and countries.

Each month’s webinar will feature new guest speakers offering novel insights into their fields. The virtual platform allows us to reach a global audience, particularly those in low-and middle income countries (LMICs) where our organization’s mission is heavily focused. This monthly series is free and open to anyone who wishes to participate.

Join us as we come together each month to share scientific ideas, best practices, challenges, lessons learned, funding opportunities, and more as we continue our mission of improving population health for all.

About the Talk

Inspired by the ‘Clinical and Radiological Approach to the Diagnosis of Skeletal
Dysplasia;’ course conducted by the Skeletal Dysplasia Group, this talk highlights the
importance of recognizing key radiological features in skeletal dysplasia—a vital skill
in Clinical Genetics. The talk aims at discussing:


– How to identify key radiological markers in skeletal dysplasia


-Practical insights to enhance diagnosis in clinical settings


-The value of learning through real patient cases to deepen knowledge
