Education
Our work has provided unique opportunities for students to work with world-class surgeons and researchers to refine their research skills in a clinical environment. We provide them with training and facilities, support and mentorship and exciting research opportunities across a variety of disciplines. TORU currently has medical students working with us from the John Curtin Medical School as well as numerous master’s and doctoral candidates from the ANU.
