Are they focussed on research? Or like the scientific knowledge before going into clinical.

It’s a mixture so some research and some theory behind clinical knowledge

Nope still doctor but I really also enjoy the research aspects and enjoy learning about the mechanisms behind body functions which is why I like the course. Also if I ever chose to go into research I will have had experience in understanding how to conduct research.
