Developments in research at Sydney Medical School at Nepean have expanded at an exciting pace since Nepean became a teaching hospital of the University of Sydney in 1992.
Research areas of particular interest are Haematology, Endocrinology, Gastrointestinal medicine, Critical Care medicine, Women's and Child's Health Maternal Foetal medicine, Psychological medicine, Geriatrics and Aging Bone Research, Neurology, and Surgery. Our researchers participate in nationally and internationally funded research and have attracted a number of new academic appointments in the last few years.
Nepean Clinical School also offers the option of doing a research project in all of our areas of research and welcomes any inquiries of interest.

Independent Learning Activities
My ILA at Nepean
I am undertaking my Independent Learning Activity (ILA) with the Aging Bone Research department at Nepean Hospital. With a background in science, but no history of laboratory work, I chose this particular project to give me experience performing research in a laboratory setting. When I started I had no particular destination in mind, however, I felt this was a good opportunity to gain an understanding of what research entails. If I decide to undertake further research later on (honours, PHD), this experience will be invaluable.
I have enjoyed my time in the laboratory immensely. Everybody in the research department has been generous with their time and knowledge, creating a friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this ILA to anybody wishing to experience lab work and research, or even for people who just want to become more familiar with the hospital.
Regards,
Chris
