This Department of Medicine Honours program is designed to offer projects that are at the leading edge of medical research into human diseases and that are especially tailored for students who are not enrolled in Medicine. The specialisations that we promote are framed within a worldleading institute, the Australian Institute for Musculoskeletal Science (AIMSS). AIMSS interacts within many national and international collaborations and this diversity promotes a comprehensive approach to research into the musculoskeletal sciences.
