MED 5900 Research Project

Medicine
Faculty of Medicine
The research project, undertaken under the guidance of a faculty member, will introduce MSc candidates to the concepts of developing a research question, experimental design, data acquisition, data analysis and science writing (research proposal and report). MSc students will spend 8 months in the laboratory. The research project is purely experiential learning and represents a major vehicle for development of the program core competencies. Students are required to produce a project report based on their research project in the format of a short journal article. All students in the program participate in a presentation session at the end of the last term in which they present their individual research projects.
