The McMaster Demystifying Medicine Seminar Series started in January 2012. It includes presentations of patients, pathology, diagnosis and therapy by both faculty members and trainees in the context of major disease problems and current research. This translational seminar series is designed to help increase the understanding of how advances in biology can be applied to human disease and discusses frequently emerging scientific, medical and ethical areas of public interest. It is directed towards a broad university audience including undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and researchers, medical students and clinicians. It is open to the public. Most videos are archived for future viewing at the demystifying medicine video library.

In 2013, we started an undergraduate course (HTS 4DM3) in Knowledge Translation and Communication that is associated with the McMaster Demystifying Medicine Seminar Series.
