Doctor of Medicine (096842G)

Take your study beyond the classroom. Work with patients across western Victoria and learn about rural medicine and building valuable relationships.

Deakin’s Doctor of Medicine takes you beyond the classroom to work with patients all across Victoria and beyond. You’ll learn how medicine is practised in rural areas, while building valuable relationships that kick start career growth once you graduate.

The course shines a light on Indigenous Health, and will help you broaden your perspective of clinical medicine to encompass public health, legal and ethical perspectives. Your study experience will allow you to advance the health and wellbeing of communities in Australia and beyond.

Be part of a community of learners who support each other as you grow your knowledge and capabilities. Be confident in the support provided by the School, as you learn in an environment where a culture of diversity, inclusiveness, respect and social accountability is built, together.

Start your journey at our Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus, home to our dollar 53 million purpose built facilities. These facilities provide the ideal training ground for problem based learning – a key theme of medicine at Deakin. You’ll learn to solve the kinds of problems you will face in your future career, while developing your confidence in foundational medical principles, clinical reasoning and the high-level communication skills necessary for excellent patient-centred care.
