Proposal for the mid-way review in medical science

Mid-way review is a mandatory element in doctoral education. The mid-way review shall be held no later than when half of the doctoral study programme has been completed, i.e., after two years for full-time studies, or earlier if two papers have been accepted for publication in a refereed journal. The mid-way review is planned by the supervisor in consultation with the doctoral student and other supervisors, as well as with the specialisations coordinator.

• Guidelines and checklist for the mid-way review
• Assessment at the mid-way review in medical science
• Instructions for mid-way summary
• Template for papers and ethical permits
• Status report on the development of the doctoral student’s learning in relation to the intended learning outcomes for the doctoral degree (word)

Please note that Örebro University's PowerPoint templates and logos shall be used for your material presented at the mid-way review, they can be found here (ORU account log-in required).

Please note that the total file size (all files) can be a maximum of 20 Mb. If this is exceeded, the form cannot be submitted. Then try either compressing the files so they are smaller and/or converting Word files to PDF.
