Always good to hear Dr Chris Varghese speak, this time an update on the impressive work of Australasian collaborative research with >35 publications so far. Persisting challenges are a paucity of clinical academic training tracks, geographic dispersion, and (😤) ethics. #NAASC24

A slide titled 'Challenges' with three cliparts representing the challenges and a screenshot of a publication titled 'Variation in human research ethics committee and governance processes throughout Australia: a need for a uniform approach'.
