Content
This unit will provide the opportunity for students to undertake a significant, novel, independent research study in the medical speciality of surgery. Students will usually be working or training in the field, or preparing to undertake training in the field. With the help of their supervisor, they will identify a key issue in the field, design a study to address the associated research question(s) and carry out the study. The main student output will be a thesis, detailing the findings of their research, articulating its significance to the surgeon and demonstrating the student’s capacity to communicate the significance to both an expert and broader audience. Other assessment tasks in the unit align with, and contribute to, the achievement of this final outcome.
