Applications will be accepted from candidates from both medical and non-medical backgrounds and sponsored by a research supervisor willing to provide direction for their research work (please refer below for a list of supervisors). Other supervisors from McGill and other universities might be accepted provided they obtain the approval of the Centre for Global Surgery Co-Directors and that one of the two Co-directors acts as a co-supervisor for that student.

A major research project focused on a domain within global surgery is the subject matter for the thesis component of the Concentration. A project supervisor and an appropriate project for the thesis must be selected at the time of application.
Selected students must actively look for grants and scholarships to fund their research work. 

To discuss potential thesis material and a research project please contact the Centre for Global Surgery at program.manager [at] cglobalsurgery.com
