Medicine at Flinders

The Flinders Medical School was the first in Australia to develop a 4 year graduate-entry Medical program as an alternative to traditional 5-6 year courses for school leavers. This was an opportunity to rethink curriculum design and the way in which students are selected. Now about 17 years later, the majority of Medical School places in Australia are graduate-entry and as the Australian Medical Council noted in renewing the Flinders Medical School's accreditation recently: "The curriculum is nationally and internationally recognised and has been adopted by other schools in Australia".

"Tradition" at Flinders involves building on the strengths of our widely-adopted curriculum via continued review and innovation to create or capture the best new ideas in medical education. Why study at Flinders?

Information Evening

The School of Medicine is holding two separate but sequential events on the evening of Wednesday 22 May 2013.

At 5.30pm Ms Veronica Vele from the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) will present an information session on UMAT and GAMSAT. This is intended for those who have not previously sat these tests.

At 6.30pm Dr Ruth Sladek and Ms Iris Lindemann from the School of Medicine will present an information session* about graduate entry into the Doctor of Medicine (MD) course. This is only intended for potential graduate applicants who already have a GAMSAT score and are considering their application to Flinders for 2014 commencement. This session will include: an overview of medical school places, the GEMSAS process for managing applications nationally, and a brief outline of the Course and options for clinical experience.

Venue: Lecture Theatre 1.01, Multi Purpose Centre, Education Building (Building 36 on map), Flinders University, Bedford Park (from the University Ring Road, turn into and park in Carpark 2).

No RSVP is necessary.  Please note that the Lecture Theatre only holds 300 people so seats are available on a first come-first serve basis only for both events. These sessions will not be recorded.
