Description
This module provides the opportunity for you to undertake a narrative review of published literature on a specified ophthalmic topic of your own choice, supervised by a MyAV范 academic or senior ophthalmologist from Moorfields Eye Hospital.
The module is delivered in terms 1, 2 and 3 of the course (taken by part-time students in their second year).
In order to develop academic skills and prepare for the dissertation, you will participate in the 鈥楻esearch in Ophthalmology鈥� (RiO) sessions. Weekly skills-based seminars take place across all three terms and cover foundations of epidemiology, biostatistics, qualitative research, evidence synthesis, critical appraisal tools, literature search and health economics. Seminars explore important aspects of professional and academic life including research ethics, plagiarism and academic writing. The programme also include inspirational talks by clinical academics at Moorfields Eye Hospital and other institutions.
In addition, there are dissertation writing workshops that will help you understand the dissertation module and prepare you to ask the question that you will answer with the literature review. You will present your ideas in oral format, a written abstract of the proposal (20% marks) and the final 10,000 word dissertation (80% marks) of the work.
