The CDU Menzies Medical Program was developed in response to community needs in the Northern Territory and provides the exciting opportunity to study medicine in this unique environment. The course aims to graduate doctors with the desire, attributes, and competencies to be excellent doctors in the NT health setting - one of the most challenging in Australia. The medical program has a strong focus on First Nations health and wellbeing, remote and rural medicine, rural generalism and provision of high-quality interdisciplinary team based regional and remote health services. Clinical placements will take students to rural and remote towns across the NT providing a rich experience in clinical medicine in rural and remote settings. The course offers students the opportunity to conduct meaningful research in partnership with the community with exceptional mentors through the Menzies School of Health Research.

You will complete around 95 weeks of clinical placements in community, primary care and hospital settings over the course of the 5 years.

On completion of the Bachelor of Clinical Science Medicine and Doctor of Medicine (MD) you are eligible for provisional registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and the Medical Board of Australia. After serving a compulsory internship year of residence in approved health facilities, you become eligible for general medical registration in Australia.

Graduates of this course will have the opportunity to pursue training in a broad range of medical specialties.
