These lectures are scheduled from late February to the end of March, each structured to maximize learning and engagement through expert presentations and interactive sessions. This series is ideal for healthcare professionals, students in medical and social work fields, and family caregivers seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in these crucial areas.
