Students undertake Specialty Blocks in Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine (PAAM), Child and Adolescent Health(CAH), Perinatal and Women's Health (PWH), and Critical Care (Emergency Medicine, Anaesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine). Students participate in a variety of clinical activities in hospital wards, outpatient clinics and community-based clinics. During the middle of year 3, students will be working on their MD Research projects. The MD Research project is a scholarly investigation into a topic relevant to health or medicine, leading to a formal report submitted for summative assessment. Students will undertake an approved, supervised, individual research project comprising of a series of milestone assessment tasks and culminating in the submission of a written report in the form of a scientific report that will be examined and graded.
