With generous support from the Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation, the Picchione Lecture serves to engage public interest and understanding of the role of health research in delivering quality health care.

Led by a prominent keynote speaker dedicated to health advocacy and/or health research, each event focuses on a theme central to the keynote lecture, then carried over to a panel discussion featuring outstanding health researchers from Dalhousie University.  The lecture and discussion (approximately 2 hours, total) is followed by a formal catered wine and cheese reception, open to all who attend this free event.
