WHAT YOU WILL STUDY

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

The five year Joint Medical Program incorporates a staged transition from campus based learning to clinical teaching in hospitals, general practice and community based healthcare facilities. The campus based teaching in the first two years uses an integrated problem-based curriculum which involves self-directed learning and tutorial participation. The problem-based curriculum focuses on the building of scientific knowledge in the biomedical sciences as students learn the functions of the human body through the different body systems. In parallel, students learn the basic clinical skills associated with the body systems including communication skills in preparation for contact with patients. During this phase of the program, student clinical understanding is enhanced by early clinical exposure. The last three years of the program focuses on applying biomedical knowledge and clinical skills in placements within hospitals, community health services and general practice. Students will encounter increasingly complex clinical problems, challenging diagnoses and treatment options in urban, rural and remote communities in preparation to be a ‘work ready’ intern. There is also opportunity to explore research practice in the field of medicine.

The University of Newcastle recognises that the best type of learning in medicine is practical learning. Your clinical experience will begin in the first semester and increase throughout the degree. You will gain a range of professional experiences and an in-depth understanding of the patient journey as you meet with patients, visit hospital wards and outpatient clinics, and spend time with doctors in practice. Our partnerships and extensive clinical networks mean students have the opportunity to complete placements in urban, regional and rural settings across Australia. You are also encouraged to develop an understanding of global health systems with clinical placement opportunities and exchanges abroad.
