📖Introduction
The University of Notre Dame Australia is a prestigious institution that holds a prominent position among Australian universities. With campuses spanning from Sydney, New South Wales on the east coast, to the vibrant town of Broome and the picturesque city of Fremantle in Perth, Western Australia, Notre Dame offers students a unique opportunity to study their chosen degree across multiple locations. This flexibility allows international students to experience different cultures, landscapes, and academic environments, enhancing their educational journey. With a commitment to academic excellence and a strong focus on values-based education, Notre Dame provides students with a holistic learning experience that combines rigorous academics with personal growth and community engagement.
Fully accredited by the Australian Medical Council, the Doctor of Medicine at Notre Dame is a four-year AQF9E program. As the only medical degree offered by a Catholic university in Australia, this program gives you the opportunity to complement your technical skills and medical knowledge with a thorough grounding in ethics. This program also examines the special health needs of Indigenous people and rural communities in Western Australia.
Are you curious about medical research and/or clinical practice? Do you have an innate need to help your fellow human? Or maybe you have a calling to help poorly-serviced communities with special health needs? If so, our Doctor of Medicine degree program has special appeal for you.
At the School of Medicine, we are committed to providing an education that not only teaches the science and craft of medicine, but also develops passionate and devoted medical practitioners. It is for this reason that our entry requirements are based on so much more than your test scores, with traits such as passion, motivation and purpose highly regarded.
The first two years of your degree are underpinned by Problem Based Learning (PBL) and include the study of basic clinical sciences, population and preventive health, bioethics, therapeutics and more.
Your third and fourth years are clinically based and present the opportunity to explore the different disciplines of medicine such as paediatrics and surgery. You are required to complete eight to nine week discipline-based rotations in a clinical setting, and further develop your research skills with a translational research project based in the health sector. There are rural/remote training opportunities and for some students, placement with the Rural Clinical School in third-year.
