The PhD Program

The PhD Program covers all aspects of the TM Cycle. The program helps students to become critical consumers of medical research papers, to gather primary data on health issues through questioning and observation, and to conduct biomedical research. Students will gain an understanding of the planning of clinical research, including systematic reviews, patient registries, and clinical trials, by designing an extended project in study groups, which are led by experienced members of the TM Centre.
