Research in psychiatry (semester 2)

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 understanding a research study to form the basis of a minor thesis during the following year.
