Program Summary

Fully accredited by the Australian Medical Council, the Doctor of Medicine at Notre Dame is a four-year AQF9E program. As the only medical degree offered by a Catholic university in Australia, this program gives students the opportunity to complement their technical skills and medical knowledge with a thorough grounding in ethics. This program also examines the special health needs of Indigenous people and rural communities in Western Australia.

The School of Medicine is committed to providing an education that not only teaches the science and craft of medicine, but also develops passionate and devoted medical practitioners. It is for this reason that entry requirements are based on so much more than test scores, with traits such as passion, motivation and purpose highly regarded.

The first two years of the degree are underpinned by Problem Based Learning (PBL) and include the study of basic clinical sciences, population and preventive health, bioethics, therapeutics and more.

The third and fourth years are clinically based and present the opportunity to explore the different disciplines of medicine such as pediatrics and surgery. Students are required to complete eight to nine week discipline-based rotations in a clinical setting, and further develop their research skills with a translational research project based in the health sector. There are rural/remote training opportunities and for some students, placement with the Rural Clinical School in third-year.
