Inaugural Professorial Lecture –Professor David McBride

Occupational Medicine, how does that work?
About Professor McBride's research:

Dave is an occupational and environmental physician, a clinical discipline of which military medicine is a sub-specialty.

His particular area of research expertise lies in occupational and environmental epidemiology and biostatistics.

His clinical interests lie in the effects of physical agents, noise and vibration, chemical agents, particularly persistent organochlorine compounds and dioxins, the effects of the psychosocial environment and veterans’ health.
His military connections as a reservist has given him insights into military health.

He joined the Queens University (Belfast) Officers Training Corps in 1974, commissioned into the Royal Corps of Transport as a Second Lieutenant in 1981, and on coming to New Zealand he thought he had retired, but joined the Royal New Zealand Army Medical Corps in 1995, going on to command the Otago and Southland Regiment in 2000, with operational experience in East Timor and Afghanistan.

This lecture will be followed with light refreshments, tea, coffee and juice.
