About this course

The MD (Ochsner) program is a 4-year, full time graduate entry program, with a provisional entry pathway available. Our Vision for our new UQ MD is to nurture and educate future medical graduates who are clinically capable, team players, kind and compassionate, serve responsibly and are dedicated to the continual improvement of the health of people and communities in Queensland, Australia and across the globe. Our UQ MD will comprise a streamlined, cohesive program organisation including an integrated approach to active learning that is built around six key themes: Safe and Effective Clinician; Critical Thinker, Scientist and Scholar; Advocate for Health Improvement; Dynamic Learner and Educator; Kind and Compassionate Professional; Partner and Team Player. UQ MD graduates will be equipped to work across a wide range of communities including rural and regional Australia. There will be early, meaningful clinical experiences facilitated by belonging to a 'learning family' from early in the Program. There will also be a range of student choice and enrichment opportunities available. Graduates will also benefit from a dedicated transition to practice term as part of their final semester of study that will facilitate the safe transition to internship and ongoing medical education.
