Brothers Christoffer and Xand van Tulleken, from Channel 4’s `Medicine Men Go Wild’ series will be among the speakers at the the 11th Annual Medical Students' Council Symposium, an annual event organised by Dundee Medical Students’ Council.

The symposium, which takes place on Wednesday March 26th at the University Medical School at Ninewells Hospital, traditionally covers a topic which is not include in the regular medical curriculum.

This year’s topic is Tropical Medicine, which made the inclusion of the van Tulleken brothers a natural choice to be invited to speak.

"Christopher and Xand have seen first-hand how people deal with health issues in the most remote places, and it will be great to hear from them," said medical student Hilde Sellevoll, one of the symposium conveners.

"I’m sure their talk will be fascinating, as will the others we have lined up. We have a full programme of high-profile speakers, including leading experts from the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine."

The event is being held in Lecture Theatre 1, Ninewells Hospital and Medical School. It is open to all students from Dundee as well as medical students from other Universities.
