Overview
Cardiovascular care, world-class research, and a significant healthcare network and workforce have combined in one place with the official opening of the Victorian Heart Hospital (VHH), home to the Monash Victorian Heart Institute (VHI), at Monash University, Clayton, held on Sunday 19 February.
Monash President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Margaret Gardner AC joined Victorian Premier the Hon Daniel Andrews, Minister for Health the Hon Mary-Anne Thomas, and Monash Health Chief Executive Professor Andrew Stripp to celebrate the opening of the 200-bed hospital.
A PhD is undertaken through the Monash Doctoral Program – a PhD for the 21st century. At the core of the program is an extensive, independent research project on an agreed chosen topic, supported by at least two expert academic supervisors.
Your study will result in a research thesis or alternative approved output, which makes a valuable contribution to the current body of knowledge on your chosen topic.
Career opportunities
On completion of the Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences program at Monash University you will be able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of relevant research techniques in your field through a review of the relevant literature. Under supervision, you will demonstrate your ability, under supervision to apply these techniques to your chosen field of study. You will be able to present high-quality written work suitable for publication in appropriate scholarly journals, and be able to critically evaluate both your own and others' written work in their chosen field.
Research
Our purpose at the Monash Victorian Heart Institute is simple; to deliver research excellence which turns into measurable change in the rates of heart disease in Australia and beyond.
There are some unmet needs in the cardiovascular disease research space that we believe are preventing Australia from making a real impact for patients. The need is for more personalised, cutting edge novel solutions that work for many individuals, especially the most vulnerable in our society.
These five areas are the Monash Victorian Heart Institute's research themes or ‘grand challenges’, targeting the areas of greatest opportunity in battling the cardiovascular disease crisis.
