Are you interested in medical education? The Undergraduate Learning & Teaching Internship Scheme (ULTRIS) is a new initiative set up by the Vice-Chancellery that will provides an opportunity for students to undertake research that focuses on teaching and learning whilst still continuing their normal studies and with the added incentive of receiving a $3,000 bursary to complete the project. This would be well suited for students in year 4 in 2009, but is open to all students.
