Abstract

[Extract] The JCU six-year undergraduate MBBS degree is the only medical program based entirely in northern Australia and has demonstrated success in producing graduates who serve rural, regional, and remote communities (1, 2). Inspiring and supporting the next generation of clinician researchers to address health and health care challenges of these communities is a key part of the mission of the JCU MBBS course. The medical Honours program is JCU’s flagship program for providing practical research training to medical students and provides a solid foundational experience for future clinician- researchers. The program adopts a learn by doing approach enabling students to lead an original study in collaboration with a team of advisors who are expert in the field of specialty and/or research design. Students are offered two pathways in recognition of differences in time and infrastructure requirements between research disciplines, and to cater to student workload preferences.
