Distinctively different course

The Macquarie MD has been developed to be a dynamic, future-focused program that produces competent, professional graduates who put the patient at the centre of all they do while nurturing a passion for lifelong learning and fresh thinking about the challenging health issues of our time.

Our program has been designed to enrich well-established approaches in medical education with current and emerging innovations. It aims to provide an innovative, high-quality, student-centred learning experience.

Early years of the program integrate clinical, scientific, professional and cultural learning around cases – placing patient-centred care as a central concept in all learning. Later years of the program provide rich clinical learning opportunities with our established clinical partners.

Patient safety focus

You will focus on patient safety and quality, an approach that is embedded across the program and has been developed in collaboration with Macquarie University’s research powerhouse, the Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI).

Diverse learning experiences
