The University of Queensland-Ochsner Clinical School highly recommends for students to participate in research. Students are eligible for UQ-sponsored, research-based programs leading to an MD/MPhil (1 research year) and MD/PhD (3 research years). Students not wishing to enroll in a formal research program can also participate in ongoing research activities pending acceptance and approval by the appropriate investigators. There are numerous research opportunities at UQ in Brisbane and Ochsner in New Orleans and these should be taken advantage of!
