Abstract

OPTIMAX is recognised internationally as a valuable experience which exposes novice researchers, particularly BSc Radiography students, to a fairly complete journey through team-based multicultural and multi-professional research, from conception to dissemination. Whilst the primary focus of OPTIMAX is on radiography, disciplines such as physics, engineering, computer science and others participate. Today research is no longer seen as a local activity involving isolated researchers and this philosophy is reflected in OPTIMAX. Contemporary quality research is multi-professional, multi-national and multi-cultural1,2,3. Recognising the value of OPTIMAX and the need for others to consider offering similar learning experiences this chapter outlines the details of what to do to recreate a similar learning experience in anticipation that similar schemes might develop around the world.
