Medicine
The medical course is a comprehensive six-level program offering integration of science and clinical teaching.
It aims to graduate an undifferentiated doctor with sufficient knowledge, skills and attitudes to take some responsibility for clinical care in the role of an intern, but who is able to appreciate their professional limitations
The medical course is based around four themes: the Scientific Basis of Medicine; Doctor, Health and Society; Doctor and Patient; and Personal and Professional Development. These themes are developed during the course.
Throughout the entire program there are opportunities for you to choose optional study blocks that are of particular interest to you. In the final level this block may be taken in an overseas centre.
Please note the information on additional entry requirements for Australian students for the undergraduate medicine and graduate medicine courses, and for International students (undergraduate course).
Career opportunities
A medical career may be followed in one or more of a number of spheres such as private practice, hospitals, government health departments, the military forces and educational establishments such as medical schools, where many members of the academic staff have responsibilities for teaching and research as well as patient care.
