Course description

This course is for students undertaking biomedical science and considering a clinical pathway following completion of their program. Students will gain an appreciation of the importance of biomedical ethics in clinical practice; learn how to critically evaluate research evidence that could impact clinical practice or a specific field of clinical research; and use effective communication of contemporary biomedical science to inform professional and lay audiences.


This course provides an opportunity for students to integrate the knowledge and intellectual skills developed in component courses of the Bachelor of Biomedical Science or the Biomedical Science major of the Bachelor of Science.
