Sir John Monash Scholarship for Achievement

The Monash Interdisciplinary Research Academy of Medical AI (MIRAMA) is a collaborative Honours initiative that brings together expertise from the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (FMNHS), the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT), and the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (FPPS). Designed for high-achieving students, MIRAMA provides a unique opportunity to undertake interdisciplinary research at the intersection of health, medicine, and artificial intelligence.
