Medicine and Surgery, Bachelor

NOTE: 2021 was the final intake for the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery program. The Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery will be replaced by the new Bachelor of Medical Studies / Doctor of Medicine programs.

We empower you to help others
Medicine is intellectually rewarding, challenging and inspiring. It requires critical problem-solving, teamwork and integrity.

Medical practitioners have an interest in wellbeing and the causes of ill health, working to protect and promote the health of individuals and communities. They are dedicated to alleviating pain and suffering, working out of comfort zones to care for vulnerable people.

What will you do?
Our Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery will provide you with the knowledge, confidence and skills needed to excel in healthcare. You will:

• learn from clinicians in the new state-of-the-art Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building
• work in small groups to solve problems relating to health and disease
• gain hands-on practical experience in simulated settings
• undertake clinical placements in hospitals and other health and medical organisations.

Where could it take you?
Adelaide Medical School graduates are respected in the industry for their knowledge and experience. They are in-demand for positions in public hospitals, private practice, public health, teaching, clinical research, aid organisations, the defence forces and more.

You might become a general practitioner in rural Australia, providing vital services for your community. You could be a specialist paediatrician who works with children and their families. Perhaps you’ll pursue research and develop new knowledge about health and treatments.
