The Department of Surgery is committed to conducting clinical research to improve patient treatment and outcomes. It is composed of 14 specialty units, most having a number of different research themes reflecting their surgical specialties. Through mentorship, collaborative research, and research group meetings, we offer medical students, interns and junior training doctors the opportunity to learn how to design protocols, interpret results and judge the worth and outcome of research projects.
Many of our surgeons also have adjunct positions at Monash University, and each year we supervise the research projects for PhD and Masters of Surgery candidates, as well as medical students.
We also collaborate with other healthcare groups and contribute to medical data banks, increasing opportunities for research. The department employs a full time research coordinator to facilitate ethics applications and aid in the design of research projects, analysis and interpretation of results, and writing scientific papers.
Research Focus:
- To use research evidence to improve quality in patient care and treatment outcomes
- To teach, mentor and inspire trainees and junior doctors to conduct innovative, excellent research. In addition to learn to judge and interpret other research in order to continue their medical education and improve their skills.
