A masters level course offered by the ANU Medical School as part of the Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MChD).
In MEDI8012 students build upon the knowledge and skills acquired in MEDI8011 to the study of the cardiovascular, renal, endocrine and reproductive systems. Problem based learning tutorials provide the platform on which the face to face teaching resources are integrated into a collective learning experience.
