By the end of the course, students will be expected to have completed a comprehensive Project Checklist for their MD Research Project, endorsed by their Research Tutor, Research Coordinator and one of the Unit of Study Coordinators. The proposal will include consideration of ethics and the need for ethics approval. Students will also have mastered core concepts in Information Literacy, Research Ethics and Evidence Based Medicine. Students are required to complete the compulsory MD Milestones (Milestones 2, 3 and 4) and any other progress checkpoint tasks required by their Research Tutor or Expert Advisor. Milestone 2 includes tasks focussed on ethics and on information literacy. Milestone 3 includes the MD Project Checklist, which covers all information required by the University for the purposes of ensuring that the MD Research Project complies with applicable University policy on research governance and the conduct of research. Milestone 4 includes a progress report written in the form of a scientific anstract, and a seminar presentation by each student on their MD Research Project at an MD Project Group Milestone 4 meeting attended by all members of the student's MD Project Group. The seminar is assessed by the Research Tutor and one independent examiner. Students will also complete Information Literacy learning and tasks focused on Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM), and ethics focused workshops and written tasks. Students' participation and performance in all academic tasks required in this unit of study must be graded as 'satisfactory' in Stage 2 to progress to Stage 3.
