Slice of LIME Online Seminars - Background

About
The LIME Network hosts Slice of LIME Online Seminars on topics related to Indigenous health and health professional education. The seminars aim to contribute to sharing knowledge and strengthening capacity amongst the LIME Network membership.

The Slice of LIME Online Seminars have been developed to provide easily accessible and regular professional learning opportunities for LIME Network Members which complement other activities of the project, including the bi-annual LIME Connection Conferences.

Seminars are either hosted by the LIME Network (LIME Hosted Seminars) or co-hosted by the LIME Network and partner universities or organisations (LIME Supported Seminars).

Online Streaming and Recording
Seminars are streamed live on-line where possible, and recorded and uploaded to YouTube for later viewing.
