This course is offered by the Education Program in Reproduction Development, a joint venture of the Monash Institute of Medical Research and Prince Henry's Institute in association with the Monash departments within the School of Biomedical Sciences. Students are required to undertake an in-depth original study and are required to submit a major thesis for examination. The thesis should embody the results of an investigation carried out by the student, under supervision, which shows independence of thought and which demonstrates the student's ability to carry out research in the chosen discipline. Research may be undertaken in areas of human reproduction, animal reproduction, women's health, foetal and neonatal physiology, embryology, molecular and cellular endocrinology and reproductive toxicology. In addition, to provide a broad theoretical basis to their study, students must attend a series of coursework lectures covering a wide range of topics in reproductive biology. Overall, this course provides medical and health professionals with advanced theoretical understanding and research training in the applications of reproductive biology, including emerging biotechnologies, to clinical human and veterinary medicine. It provides detailed training in current theories and principles of reproductive biology and medicine, including instruction and experience in various practical skills currently in use. It also offers knowledge and understanding of recent advances in reproductive technologies and their implications for professionals in various fields as well as advanced training in areas of specific interest. The course provides suitable training for those concerned with: research and development projects involving reproduction; IVF programs; medical and paramedical areas; development and implementation of policy on reproductive and population issues; developing areas of agriculture and veterinary science where skills in new reproductive technologies are assuming considerable importance; and biological areas such as wildlife conservation, pest control and preservation of endangered species.
