THE JOINT
MEDICAL
PROGRAM ®
Save lives and help shape the future of health care.
We recognise that the best type of learning in medicine
is practical learning. Our students are exposed to
clinical experiences early on in their program, both in
rural and metropolitan areas. Clinical experience begins
in the first semester and increases throughout the
program. The program is also underpinned by excellent
education technology, including simulated learning
facilities.

We’re proud of our world-class graduates who work

as health professionals in Australia and abroad,
and are making new discoveries as researchers.
The program is underpinned by state-of-the art
education technology.
