This is a four-year, full-time doctoral programme in Medicine.

Graduates are prepared for a wide range of medical careers, supported by substantial workplace learning and clinical placements across multiple settings and specialties. The degree builds skills for internship and subsequent pathways in areas such as general practice, hospital medicine and specialist training, with experience particularly relevant to rural and regional health services.
