Medical school[edit source | editbeta]

Various models of medical education exist in Australia. 

Undergraduate-entry program typically last 5–6 years, and permit entry from secondary school matriculation. Applicants are usually assessed by a combination of high school leaving certificate performance, UMAT (Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test) score and interview.

Graduate medical programs typically last 4 years, and require the entrant to have attained a previous bachelor degree qualification at a certain level of achievement in addition to aptitude tests and interviews. The most common selection test used is the GAMSAT (Graduate Australian Medical Schools Admission Test).

In early years, theoretical domains of study predominate, with increasing clinical focus during the program. 

However, early clinical exposure — in which students commence clinical skills from very early in the course, concurrently with theoretical study — is a component of many degrees, most notably the graduate medical programs. In recent years medical school learning and teaching in Australia has taken on a new direction. At most universities there has been a move away from the more traditional methods of teaching with a shift towards the Problem Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy including the use of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs).

Historically Australian medical schools have followed the British tradition by conferring MBBS degrees to medicine graduates. The notable exception is the Bachelor of Medicine (BMed) joint program of the University of Newcastle and the University of New England. Australian MBBS degrees are graduate-entry Bachelor's degrees at Level 7 of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and take four years to complete. The Newcastle/New England BMed is again an exception, being a five year undergraduate-entry Level 7 degree.

A recent revision to the AQF permits certain Level 9 Master's degree programs to use "Doctor of" in the degree title. As a result, several Australian universities are in the process of revising their Level 7 Bachelor's degrees to become Level 9 Master's degrees with the title Doctor of Medicine (MD). The University of Melbourne was the first to introduce the MD degree in 2011, and many other Australian universities are in the process of replacing their MBBS degrees with MDs.

University of Queensland[4]	MD	MBBS	4 years	Postgraduate	2015
University of Adelaide[5]	MD	MBBS	4 years	Postgraduate	2013
University of New South Wales[6]	BMed/MD	MBBS	6 years	Undergraduate	2014 (TBC)
University of Newcastle[7]	BMedSci/MD	BMed	5 years	Undergraduate	2015 (TBC)
University of New England[8]	BMedSci/MD	BMed	5 years	Undergraduate	2015 (TBC)
Australian National University[9]	MChD	MBBS	4 years	Postgraduate	2014

Many universities previously offered an MD as an AQF Level 10 doctoral degree akin to the PhD or as a higher doctorate. Since the introduction of the Master's level MD, universities have renamed their previous medical research doctorates. For instance, the University of Melbourne renamed its research degree the Doctor of Medical Science (DMedSci).
