    About

    Our UQ Doctor of Medicine will provide you with a world-class medical education. You'll gain hands-on experience preparing you to work in any global setting.

    We nurture and educate medical graduates who are clinically excellent, team players, kind and compassionate, serve responsibly and dedicated to continual improvement of health among people and communities.

    From 2023, we’ll be offering our revisioned Doctor of Medicine (MD) program, designed to build on the enthusiasm, maturity and diversity of our students. It features a streamlined structure that takes an integrated approach to active learning. Across the program you’ll be able to tailor your learning by choosing enrichment opportunities.

    You'll join a 'learning community', a clinical home for your ongoing learning through the program.

    Your final semester is a dedicated Transition to Practice term where you will be an active pre-intern member of a clinical team – this will help you make the safe and effective transition to internship/residency and your ongoing medical career.

    You may be interested in our Doctor of Medicine (Ochsner) program, which provides students with an opportunity to spend 2 years in Brisbane, Australia and 2 years in New Orleans, Louisiana.
