The program develops research skills, as students develop and complete a research project under expert supervision. Normally the program is completed within 12 months if studied full time, or two years part time. Students who are currently enrolled in the sixth year of the JCU Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree who meet the appropriate admission requirements may apply to commence this course on a part time basis during their sixth year. This subject is available to students admitted to the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery with Honours (Graduate Entry) course only.

The subject consists of research undertaken for preparation of a thesis and seminars which accompany the research process.
