Program Overview

Medical Program is an integrated program that provides an alternative to the traditional pathway from secondary school to an undergraduate medical course. Throughout the course there are 3 broad topics or themes: Doctor and Patient: The practical communication, examination and procedural skills essential for effective interaction between the doctor and patients and for constructive interaction with other health professionals; Knowledge of Health and Illness: Knowledge of the structure, function and development of the normal human body at all levels of organisation, from the molecular and cellular to the whole individual; Health Professions and Society: Consideration of health and illness in the wider contexts of family, cultural group, community and political and economic influences in society. Students graduate with a Doctor of Medicine that is comparable to the 6 year MBBS programs for school leavers. They must then complete a year as a paid hospital intern before qualifying for full registration in Australia.
