Overview

Medicine is intellectually rewarding, challenging and inspiring. It requires critical problem-solving, teamwork and integrity. Medical practitioners work to protect and promote the health of individuals and communities. They are dedicated to alleviating pain and suffering, and caring for vulnerable people.

The medical program at the University of Adelaide has a six-year full-time duration which leads to the awards of Bachelor of Medical Studies and Doctor of Medicine.

Our Bachelor of Medical Studies provides the foundation knowledge and skills needed to excel in health care. Learning in partnership with outstanding educators and clinicians in our state-of-the-art Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building, you will:

  • work in small groups to address scenario-based problems relating to common and important individual, community, Indigenous and global health issues
  • gain valuable exposure to real-world clinical practice and develop your own safe and effective clinical skills in cutting-edge simulation facilities
  • investigate the social determinants of health and health behaviours
  • learn to evaluate the health status of individuals and populations
  • acquire a solid foundation in research skills and evidence-based care
  • learn collaboratively in interprofessional teams
You will also gain a deep understanding of how our health care system works. This includes from the consumer perspective; how patients interact with various health services and providers.

The Bachelor of Medical Studies is the first part of our combined medicine program. Upon completion, you'll gain direct entry into our Doctor of Medicine to complete your training as a practice-ready doctor. Together, these degrees will qualify you to practise medicine anywhere in Australia and throughout most of the world. Find out more about the Doctor of Medicine on Degree Finder.
