Training Projects
Options for Advanced
Training Projects
The written project may take several forms. Generally, you should select
projects from at least two different categories during the three years
of training.
- Clinical or laboratory research presented in a form suitable or already
submitted for publication to a peer reviewed journal (Vancouver guidelines)
- Report of a series of cases illustrative of a particular problem accompanied
by a significant review of the relevant literature
- Single case of an unusual problem accompanied by an in depth literature
review (acceptable as 1 project only)
- A substantial research proposal including background, rationale, hypothesis,
methodology and budget and accompanied by a comprehensive literature
review (standard equivalent to an NHMRC Project Grant Application).
Acceptable as one project only
- Report and commentary of a substantial piece of original work either
in progress or complete eg Doctorate (PhD, MD) or thesis for other higher
degree. A successful PhD may fulfil criteria for all 3 projects. An
Executive Summary or Abstract of the higher degree must be comprehensible
as a stand alone document
- Quality Assurance, Action Research or an audit or evaluation of a
service or clinical program accompanied by a literature review
- Systematic review of the literature: an example of the process to
be used is the Cochrane Collaboration
- Course work from a higher degree such as Masters of Public Health
eg series of epidemiological case studies
- Alternative projects such as CD ROM, Guide to Internet, authorship
of a hand book or parent information video which fulfil the project
objectives need to be discussed prospectively with the CPPT.
