Advanced Studies is a research and scholarship theme that is integrated across the four-year Doctor of Medicine (MD). This theme within the MD program aims to provide Flinders MD graduates with a solid understanding of medical research and scholarship. More broadly, Advanced Studies seeks to enhance the quality of medical care by producing doctors who are both knowledgeable and skilful, with an understanding of self-regulated learning, and a broad perspective of the art and science of medicine that facilitates leadership and advocacy for the benefit of the community.
Two pathways are available to students in Advanced Studies – research and coursework. For research students, Advanced Studies provides an opportunity to develop practical research skills under the guidance of a research supervisor. For coursework students, Advanced Studies can offer a pathway towards a Graduate Certificate in a chosen area related to health and medicine.

If you wish to be listed, please send a blurb of your research interests and best contact details to the Advanced Studies team.
