Graduate Diploma in Science in Medicine (Clinical Neurophysiology)

The Graduate Diploma requires completion of 4 stream specific units of study, Introductory Clinical Epidemiology (this can be undertaken at any time throughout the degree) and an elective unit of study. The elective unit of study can be selected from the stream specific units or from other units within the postgraduate coursework program of the Sydney Medical School.

Please refer to the units of study below.

Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology

Basic Sciences in Clinical  Neurophysiology

Diagnostic Electroencephalography

Clinical Neurophysiology Techniques  (from 2017)

Advanced Electroencephalography

Neuromonitoring in Anaesthesia

Intraoperative Monitoring: I

Intraoperative Monitoring: II

Clinical Communication and Decision  Making

Pain Mechanisms and Contributors

Pain Treatment Management Principles

Acute Pain

Introductory Biostatistics

Clinical Research Developmnent and  Practice

Teaching  in the Clinical Environment

The Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma requires a medical degree, a bachelor degree in a health-related discipline or a minimum of five years professional work experience in a health-related field.

The advanced option is available to those who have completed the Master degree with a weighted average mark of at least 75 percent in 24 credit points of compulsory and/or stream specific units of study.

Places in these degrees are strictly limited.

Currently, formal accreditation is not required to practice clinical neurophysiology. Application has been made to the Australian New Zealand College of Anaesthetists to fulfill the Scholar Role of the anaesthetics training program.

The Association of Neurophysiological Technologists of Australia (ANTA) and the Australasian Cognitive Neuroscience Society (ACNS) are supportive of the introduction of a postgraduate course to complement workplace training.

Students may be able to continue on with the Master or Masters (Advanced) course, in line with the coursework rules. Excellent students may also be able to apply for a PhD.
