Program Overview
Prepare yourself for a challenging and rewarding profession as a medical doctor. Gain the hands-on experience, advanced skills and knowledge to help you graduate ready for a successful career.
Studying at UQ, you'll be part of an outstanding medical community. You'll gain a world-class, hands-on education that enables you to become an exceptional doctor capable of working in any global setting. Our program allows you to tailor your learning and develop the skills you need to advance the health and wellbeing of all.
From 2023, we will be offering our new Doctor of Medicine (MD) program. You can apply for this 4-year, full-time graduate program through the provisional entry pathway or as a graduate entrant.
We nurture and educate future medical graduates who are clinically excellent, team players, kind and compassionate, serve responsibly and are dedicated to the continual improvement of the health of people and communities in Queensland, Australia and across the globe.
The program has been designed to capture and build on the enthusiasm, maturity and diversity of our graduate entrants. It features a streamlined, cohesive structure that takes an integrated approach to active learning.
The MD program is built around 6 key themes:
- Safe and Effective Clinician
- Critical Thinker, Scientist and Scholar
- Advocate for Health Improvement
- Dynamic Learner and Educator
- Kind and Compassionate Professional
- Partner and Team Player.
As a student, you'll join a 'learning community' during your first year. Each community brings together different clinical partners and provides a clinical home for early, meaningful clinical experiences as well as your ongoing learning through the program.
Build your own unique medical degree through a range of student choices and enrichment opportunities. During your final semester of study, you'll benefit from a dedicated transition to practice term – this will help you make the safe and effective transition to internship/residency and your ongoing successful medical career.
Your 4-year medical journey begins with the foundations of medicine, learning fundamental concepts of medical sciences, clinical and professional skills and the role of the doctor and the health system. Year 2 concentrates on developing the knowledge and skills required for medical practice, focusing on the pathophysiology of common conditions. Almost half your learning opportunities will be in clinical settings in year 2. From year 3 onwards, you'll be immersed in various clinical environments – both in the hospital and the community. Your learning will be grounded in the clinical 'workplace' setting, supported by structured teaching and learning activities. This clinical immersion will culminate in a ‘transition to practice semester’ in year 4, which focuses on providing you with the opportunity to be an active pre-intern member of a clinical team.
