Course overview

Our Graduate Entry 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 Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery that is comparable to the 6 year MBBS programs for school leavers and is recognised by the World Health Organisation. They must then complete a year as a paid hospital intern before qualifying for full registration in Australia.
