RAMI Odontology Meeting, Thursday 3rd Oct 2019

Dear All,

Thank-you so much to the attendees of this academic years first Odontology Section RAMI meeting, who braved storm Lorenzo to be present. The turn out was excellent and the organizers are very pleased with the audience engagement, which I believe is a testament to the strength of Dr Michael O’Sullivan as a speaker.

Dr O’Sullivan has kindly forwarded the content of his presentation, Making Sense of the Dental Literature MOS Final

Best wishes,

David McReynolds

Odontology Section Secretary RAMI
