Make a substantial contribution to your clinical specialty with the published research you’ll produce - on a programme designed specifically for medical graduates in clinical practice. On this challenging programme you’ll develop and propose a research topic, generally along the lines of an empirical scientific project that’s relevant to your clinical specialty. There’s a fair amount of flexibility. You’ll have up to two years to complete your studies full-time or up to four years if you opt for a part-time arrangement. Supervision and support is provided by a carefully selected team that will include at least one medical doctor in your specialty and others as required. All of our MD (Res) students become visiting fellows of the Postgraduate Medical Institute (PMI). We’ll provide comprehensive research training to help you get most from your programme.

By studying for an MD (Res), you’ll be able to develop your research skills in and outside of clinical practice. Courses include research methodology, statistics and scientific writing.
