MED5101 Scholarly Intensive Placement (SIP)

Monash University’s School of Translational Medicine (STM) focuses on translational research – incorporating insights developed from the laboratory bench into therapies applicable at the patient bedside. Our Departments and affiliates have strong links with health care providers, ensuring that our research can move towards health outcomes as rapidly as possible. Our work provides the springboard for the development of new diagnostics and therapies for a wide range of human diseases – “where research makes a difference”.

STM has a wealth of projects for students who are interested in the entire spectrum of basic and translational research. Students will undertake their SIP placements at one of the three hospitals associated with STM, namely Alfred Hospital, Cabrini Hospital and Frankston Hospital.
