Research and Teaching Annual Reports
Clinical Fellowship Program
Calvary Mater Newcastle staff are eligible to apply for the HNE Clinical and Health Service Research Fellowship Scheme, which has been set up to position for the future by facilitating multidisciplinary innovation, education and research. It is recognised that evidenced-based health care and improved patient outcomes are intrinsically linked to both clinician conduct of research and the translation of research evidence into health care policy and practice. The Fellowship Scheme is a capacity building program to support clinicians to undertake clinical and health service research.
