| Objectives: |
Advanced Medical Science provides an introduction to the processes of research work in a field related to medicine, including critical appraisal of the literature, and aims to develop independent skills in research and an understanding of the place of research in medicine; to enhance oral and written communication skills; and to encourage further learning in areas of relevance to medicine. Students undertaking Advanced Medical Science 510-320/510-420 will be able to choose one double-semester topic from a range of units which will be published each year. Most units are at the University of Melbourne, some are at other prestigious institutes in Australia and overseas, and a limited number are student-initiated. Each unit will comprise a minimum of 50% research and the balance in coursework including research methods training. |
