Clued-up professionals are the exception, so we shouldn't be surprised at this outdated approach. It's very disappointing but we're in a privileged position here with knowledge and experience that can change the world! I would expect a university seminar to be too far removed from our reality to offer much help.
From what people say on the forum, we just put in a word here and there at our surgeries and hospitals, at work and among friends, and one day the dam will burst and enlightenment will flood our lives.
Oops, too much coffee
Srsly, you could write to the university and tell them what you thought.
