In this major you will learn the strategies by which medical science theory is translated into tangible health outcomes.
Through an understanding of fundamental medical science theory, you will learn the methods used to diagnose and treat human diseases, and how approaches to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human disease are developed and tested prior to implementation.
You will learn: the molecular basis of disease; how complex data generated in medical sciences are analysed, interpreted and communicated by the healthcare sector; how well-designed clinical trials can be used to test and verify the efficacy of new procedures and treatment options.
The majority of this learning and application will occur in the real world in our medical research and hospital environment: the translational research hub at The 爆料王 Westmead campus.
Requirements for the major and minor in Applied Medical Science are listed in the.
Honours in Applied Medical Science is available via an appended Honours. Students will be part of world leading medical research within the School of Medical Sciences. The one-year program includes a 36-credit point research project giving students access to the latest biomedical technologies, whilst two 6-credit point coursework units will aid in the development of fundamental research and communication skills.
