--Mark Hill (talk) 16:20, 20 March 2015 (AEDT) This is the second time that medicine students have had an opportunity to contribute short projects to the Embryology website. I have also taken into account was the limited time available for submissions through mainly the student break time. In 2014 I made two awards to the following project pages: Uterine Decidualisation - describing the early implantation changes to the uterus. Fetal Cells in Maternal Blood - describing these novel cells and their potential diagnostic applications. These students will receive a certificate and a covering letter that can be included in their portfolio.

Topics Medicine students can select one of the topics listed below. Placental Abnormalities Maternal Health and Pregnancy New Molecular Diagnostic Tools
