Doctor of Medicine
This degree will help you take your first step on the road to becoming a doctor. Through a combination of problem-based learning, small group practical and clinical skills sessions, plus extensive clinical placements and considerable online support, you will develop the skills, knowledge, and attributes necessary to succeed as an intern. As a graduate, you will be caring and competent and have a fundamental understanding of the science of medicine.
You will develop communication skills and learn about the art and science of medicine in its wider social and ethical context. You will take part in extensive clinical placements in healthcare facilities ranging from rural settings through to the Gold Coast University Hospital. You will also develop an understanding of the importance of lifelong learning, and learn how to be resourceful in seeking information and adapting to new technologies.
The Doctor of Medicine is an AQF Level 9 Masters Extended degree.
MD/Ph.D. pathway
This pathway will allow a small number of MD students (5 to 10 students) to complete the first two years of the program before commencing two years of full-time Ph.D. work in clinical research related to a range of fields such as neuropsychiatry, pathology, neurology, primary health care, health economics, cardiology, indigenous health, medical education, and medical ethics. The program will incorporate clinical/bedside teaching plus reintegration into the MD component while they are doing the Ph.D. research project. Candidates would then recommence the normal MD program to complete Medicine 3 and Medicine 4 of the MD whilst completing the Ph.D. part-time. Students will be eligible for Ph.D. scholarships.
