Doctor of Medicine

Advances in medicine rely on advances in knowledge. It's why over 15 years ago Western created a new kind of School of Medicine. Since then, we've seen more than 1500 graduates enter the medical profession and make a difference.

As a medical student at Western, you will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities. The Clinical Schools out of which you will be based, along with our campus in Campbelltown are brand new and purpose built specifically for our students.

Four themes run throughout this program: patient care, health in the community, personal and professional development, and scientific basis of medicine. Clinical learning begins from the first weeks 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 have an opportunity to apply skills and knowledge gained from this degree in a workplace setting, through an internship or an engaging work-integrated learning experience.

You will extend and apply your knowledge and practical skills in full-time clinical and community placements including in Aboriginal Medical Services, complete a scholarly project and build your clinical experience through placements in speciality and subspecialty medicine.
