Advances in medicine rely on advances in knowledge. It’s why over 10 years ago Western created a new kind of School of Medicine. Since then, we’ve seen more than 600 graduates enter the medical profession and make a difference.

You will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities and our brand new neuroscience behavioural investigation laboratory. The Clinical Schools out of which you will be based, along with our Campbelltown campus, are brand new and purpose built specifically for our students. Four themes run throughout this course: patient care, health in the community, personal and professional development, and scientific basis of medicine. Clinical learning begins from the first weeks and as you work with and learn from real patients. You will be supported by small-group collaborative learning at the bedside and on campus that continues throughout the program. Applying the biomedical sciences to clinical problems, you will acquire and practice clinical and research skills as you build your portfolio of evidence of your learning.

You will extend and apply your knowledge and practical skills in full-time clinical and community placements, complete a scholarly project and build your clinical experience through placements in speciality and subspecialty medicine. These placements range from major metropolitan hospitals to general practices and Aboriginal medical services in rural and remote areas.

Be ready for your internship and training in a speciality of your choosing. 

As a graduate from this degree, you can look forward to career opportunities including: 

• Medical Practice (General or Specialised Doctor)
• Medical Administration
• Medical Research
• Medical Teaching
