SYDNEY MEDICAL SCHOOL NEPEAN
HONOURS STUDENT APPLICATION PROCESS
•
Step 1 - Once qualified, look for a supervisor at Nepean Hospital in your
area of interest.
•
Step 2 - Together with the supervisor, a project is planned, submitted to
Professor Wall as Chairman of the Honours Programme for Nepean
Hospital to determine the suitability of the project and the proposed
time line and the suitability of the supervisor.
•
Step 3 – If the project requires Human or Animal Ethics, you will require
approval from the Nepean Hospital Human Ethics Committee before you
can begin, and the project will require full Scientific and Human Ethics
review and approval.
(This can be as simple as an amendment to an existing Ethics Approval.)
•
Step 4 – Nepean’s Honours Coordinator Professor Jack Wall, will meet
with all supervisors with their student(s) for a short (10 min) meeting to
discuss the proposal and related issues (such as human ethics and
supervision). At that meeting the suitability and feasibility of the project,
and the back ground, training and suitability of the supervisor(s), will be
determined before approving the project.
