Paramedic Research 1 CAA401
Cradle Coast, Hobart, Launceston, Rozelle - Sydney
Introduction
This unit of study aims: (a) to provide a year's training in research, in order to give students a competitive edge in their vocational career path; and (b) to provide students with the opportunity to plan, execute, interpret and analyse purposeful experiments, appropriate to their research project, and to communicate their results; and (c) to investigate and communicate analysis and outcomes of contemporary biomedical /health research. Research projects in this unit include the very wide range of techniques required for modern biomedical, health and clinical research from the biochemical or molecular level, through cell biology to whole animal, and human and social community studies. Students considering this unit are advised to discuss with prospective supervisors their research areas and possible projects in detail before enrolment for the year. The Discipline will provide specific details on assessment procedures and criteria used. Students will study alongside colleagues enrolled in the BMedResearch (Hons) and BMedSc (Hons) programs.
