The Bachelor of Medical Studies provides foundational knowledge and skills needed to excel in health care. You’ll learn from outstanding clinicians in state-of-the-art facilities and develop a deep understanding of how our health care system works. You’ll also gain a valuable ‘consumer’ perspective, helping you understand how patients interact with health services and providers.

During your studies you’ll explore scenario-based problems, focussing on individual, community, Indigenous and global health issues. You’ll also gain valuable exposure to real-world clinical practice and develop safe and effective clinical skills in cutting-edge simulation facilities.

This degree is the first three years of the Adelaide University's six-year integrated medicine program, and upon successful completion you’ll gain direct entry into the Doctor of Medicine. Together, these degrees will qualify you to practise as an intern anywhere in Australia and throughout most of the world.
