Join us for a conversation with Scotch College alumni, Dr Dave McCutcheon: Emergency specialist, father of three kids and a life-long musician. Dave gives us some fascinating insights into the challenges faced by emergency health workers in the context of a global pandemic. We also discuss ways in which Emergency medicine demands an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving in what are occasional life and death situations. Finally, Dave reflects on his own educational experience and shares some lessons for the future.
