Musculoskeletal Sciences

You will develop your research skills through a range of research training in your first year, including compulsory attendance at basic musculoskeletal modules and selection of three topic-related modules. You are also encouraged to work with their supervisors on your research-specific literature review and to develop study design for your theses within the two terms of training.

• completion of a termly report by you and your supervisors;
• submission and presentation of a 500-word report within the first three terms of training; and
• confirmation of your ability to submit your thesis within the required maximum 12 terms. 

You will be required to attend and present at termly graduate seminars, not only to develop your presentation skills but also to benefit from the feedback, support and interaction from their University peers and senior academics. In addition the department runs weekly seminars by internal and external speakers on various clinical and non-clinical musculoskeletal topics, which will provide further opportunity for you to broaden your knowledge in the field.

You are also strongly encouraged to attend skills training courses run by the Medical Sciences Division as well as experiencing teaching/supervising final year undergraduate students, to enhance your skills.
