Learn the theory and practical skills required for an exciting career in medicine. Our Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (BMedScMD), will prepare you as a doctor to take a front-line leadership role in health care delivery.
In the first years of the degree, you will undertake predominantly campus-based learning programs, including lectures, tutorials and practical classes. Patient contact will be introduced in the first two years in a variety of environments, exposing you to a range of healthcare practices with particular emphasis on community and rural settings. This experience will give you the ability and flexibility to adapt to a range of healthcare environments in your future career.
A focussed transition to learning in clinical settings will occur in the third year. In years three, four and five, you'll have immersive clinical experiences to prepare you for an internship and your future career as a medical professional.
You will be involved in a series of clinical rotations including some electives.  You'll have the opportunity to undertake the final three (3) years of the course in clinical placements at one of the three Clinical Schools: Hobart, Launceston, and the Rural Clinical School in Burnie. You can be allocated to any of these three clinical schools.
You will learn with other health professionals to develop team skills and foster a multi-disciplinary approach to healthcare. To further support the development of desirable workplace graduate skills in research, leadership, entrepreneurship, health systems change and professional practice, you will have the opportunity to engage in a professional practice project during your degree.
