Welcome to UNSW Medicine & Health, one of the world’s top medical schools.
As Dean I feel privileged to lead a medical school that brings together excellence in teaching and research, while addressing the most significant health challenges we face. Our aim is to improve health in Australia and globally, with a focus on eliminating health disparities. We are delighted to have you join us in this endeavour.
UNSW Medicine & Health fosters an environment that enables world leading educators, researchers and clinicians to flourish in their professional careers. But our essential, core business is to train doctors and other health professionals so that they acquire the best possible skills and make the most of their great potential.
From the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, to ongoing issues such as obesity, global ageing and the rise of non-communicable diseases, today’s most critical health issues create numerous and diverse possibilities to drive real change. We have a mandate to be progressive, address inherent disadvantages in the health system, improve health care in Indigenous and rural communities, harness underused technology and be a part of a global community that helps people live better – wherever they are.
UNSW Medicine & Health is one of the few medical schools in Australia to offer undergraduate entry to the integrated Bachelor of Medical Studies/Doctor of Medicine (MD) program, a globally recognised qualification that will equip you for an unrivalled career in health. Your training with us will be thorough, comprehensive, dynamic and innovative. It will prepare you to meet the complex and ever-changing demands of health care. You will find a welcoming community here at UNSW Medicine & Health as we work together to support the growth of everyone: our eclectic and diverse community of students, staff, alumni and partners. Cultural safety is paramount; we are all about building an inclusive culture of lifelong learning and engagement.
As you move from being a student to becoming a doctor, we encourage you to question, to discover, to design, to grow and listen and learn: our goal is to develop compassionate graduates and researchers who are the innovators and global leaders of tomorrow.
