Call for Research Projects for BMedSc(Hons) 2016 Feb Indonesian intake

The BMedSc (Hons) office is calling for a limited selection of ~30 projects to be included in a project booklet that will be sent to prospective medical students from the University of Indonesia (currently 7 potential candidates). The aim is for the Indonesian students and Monash supervisors to have agreed on a project before the students arrive in Australia in mid February.

• These students will be fully integrated with the domestic MBBS students undertaking their BMedSc(Hons) from February 2016 until November 2016, but will also have access to the Student Academic Support Unit (SASU) who provide assistance with written English language skills.
• Information regarding eligibility requirements, course structure and outline are at: http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2016handbooks/courses/M3701.html
• An orientation program will be held in Feb 2016 including EndNote, writing skills, literature search skills and other learning workshops. Student attendance at the orientation program is mandatory.
