Clinical and Academic Research Scheme
(CARS)
As medical students ourselves, we understand how daunting it can be to get involved in research in the first place. We launched this scheme to help students gain exposure to research, by coordinating research projects between students and supervisors.
Not only is it an opportunity for students to gain further insight into the field of research, but students may get the opportunity to present at conferences or contribute to publications, making it an attractive addition to their portfolio.
Projects will be released as they become available, but students will be free to indicate their preferences and we can help you source relevant projects. Our 2023/24 projects included Medical Education, Head and Neck Surgery and Anesthetics. We hope to release more projects soon!
