Our Bachelor of Clinical Science  / Doctor of Medicine program is an innovative degree that combines problem-based learning and clinical practice with leading theory and research. Taught out of our world class facilities, our School of Medicine is one of the most advanced medical training centres in Australia.

Since welcoming its first students in 2007, the School of Medicine has graduated doctors who are completing further training in the full range of specialty areas and who are making an important contribution to the care of patients.

From 2021, Western Sydney and Charles Sturt University will be delivering a Doctor of Medicine (MD) program together, making this program available on both sides of the Blue Mountains. . The Joint Program in Medicine is a five-year undergraduate entry degree that qualifies you to be a medical intern in Australia and New Zealand. 

Medicine is a vertically and horizontally integrated curriculum, centered on problem-based learning. Four themes run throughout the course: patient care, health in the community, personal and professional development, scientific basis of medicine. Patient contact and clinical learning begins in the first weeks and continues throughout the program.

Our program is designed to prepare you for your future medical career.
