Research Opportunities
FIND AN MD PROJECT SUPERVISOR
To prepare for Year 4, students may source a research project of interest and find an appropriate supervisor using the list below. Once a potential supervisor is identified, students should introduce themselves by email, outlining their area of interest and a short explanation about why they would like to work with them on a research project.
All Project Proposals must be written by the supervisor offering the project, in collaboration with the student (where applicable), and submitted to the MD Project Team by 11 July for review and assessment.
Students undertaking a rural placement in Bathurst or Lismore must contact the Research Lead at their allocated rural clinical school to obtain a list of MD project opportunities offered at their location.
Please refer to the 2025 MDP Student & Supervisor Guide for detailed information about the program.
