Thesis

The Master of Clinical Education thesis entails conducting a major research project on an aspect of symbiotic clinical education. This project may be a stand alone project or as a stepping stone towards a PhD. Hence, this research project may include, for example: a systematic review of the literature on a specific topic, an initial phase of a larger comparative study, a pilot study or policy analysis.

The thesis should demonstrate the student's abilities to critically examine clinical education in his/her area of inquiry, apply and defend a methodology to a research problem or question. This topic will include a comprehensive research proposal and approval through the University Ethics Committee as required. The thesis will include a comprehensive literature review, completion of data analysis and findings and be submitted to the designated supervisors throughout the study. The work will be written under the supervision of a staff member in the School of Medicine, and is to be reported in a thesis of approximately 30,000-36,000 words, which shall be examined by two examiners, one of who shall be external to Flinders University. The thesis produced will be required to comply with the rules of Flinders University higher research degree theses.
