The Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS) at MUST has registered research success among its PhD students under the NORHED II project.

This came out during a workshop organized to review progress the students under the project have made in their research endevours. 

Speaking during the closing ceremony today, AMS Postgraduate Programmes Coordinator, Dr David Mzinza, described the workshop as rewarding to both
 students and the institution. 

โ€œIt accorded us an opportunity to assess research potential, evaluate feasibility and identify areas of support for the students, among others,โ€ said Dr Mzinza.

Director of Research and Outreach at MUST, Professor Alfred Maluwa, also expressed satisfaction with the workshop. 

โ€œI am very happy that, among others, the workshop has helped us to improve research quality, enhance student-supervisor relationships and increased accountability,โ€ he said.

During the workshop, six PhD students under the NORHED support presented their research projects and progress registered.

One of them, Dr Maranatha Banda, hailed the workshop for helping them to refine their topics and get valuable feedback that would enrich their research projects.

โ€œI am very excited that my research proposal has been benchmarked to meet high-quality standards, and there is now clarity of research direction,โ€ she said.
AMS offers four postgraduate programmes of Master of Science in Infection and Immunity, Master of Science in Medical Microbiology, Master of Science in Diagnostic Ultrasound and PhD in Maternal and Neonatal Health.
