Synopsis This subject of the Master of Psychological Medicine course
provides an integration and revision of material presented in the first three
years, with a greater emphasis on clinical application. Courses in
psychogeriatrics and forensic psychiatry are included. The subject also
comprises sessions about basic research tools such as statistics, epidemiology
and research design. Candidates are expected to apply these tools when

following year.
