Students will have undertaken an approved, supervised research project culminating in the submission of an MD Final Report report in the form of an article suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The MD Final Report will be examined and graded. Students will be required to attend the MD Research Symposium during Conference Week in semester 2, and encouraged to present their work in the form or a poster or, by invitation, an oral presentation.
Students must have achieved a pass standard in their MD Final Report in order to undertake the PRINT term and to graduate. Students whose MD Final Reports require remediation will need to revise and resubmit the report prior to Term I. Students whose MD Final Report is not satisfactory after remediation or whose Final Report is not remediable will be required to complete an 8 week project in Term J, Students cannot progress to PRINT unless they receive a pass grade in the research intensive. Students who pass the research intensive will undertake a delayed PRINT (P3).
Students who are required to repeat Stage 3, Year 4 and who have achieved a pass grade in their MD Final Report during their initial attempt at Year 4 will be required to re-enrol in this unit of study and undertake a modified research task. If the modified research task is not of a pass standard, the student will be required to satisfactorily complete an 8 week repeat project in Term J, and will undertake a delayed PRINT term.
