Overview

Research in the Obstetrics and Gynecology program from University of Alberta may be carried out in any of the department laboratories or clinical facilities in a variety of disciplines related to women’s health from preconception to post-menopause.

Pregnancy-related research can also include studies of both male and female offspring. Research includes basic science, epidemiology and clinical-based approaches.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Once the PhD proposal package is approved by the MSGP Committee, the candidacy exam should take place within the following 6 months.

Falling outside this timeframe would require a written explanation and timeline for submission to be forwarded to the Graduate Coordinator and the MSGP Chair. Failure to meet this timeline may affect a student’s eligibility for the MSGP graduate student awards.

The candidacy exam consists of two parts: 1) a written grant proposal related to the student’s thesis topic and 2) an oral examination on the grant proposal that will probe the student’s depth of knowledge in their research area.
