Job Details

The UQ Medical Program

The Faculty of Medicine is a leading provider of medical education in Queensland, with around 2,000 students studying across the four years of the medical program at UQ. Its MD program includes graduate entry and school-leaver entry streams, and is an integrated, case-based/problem based learning program. The first phase of the program (years 1 and 2) is delivered by a combination of biomedical scientists and clinicians, predominantly at the St. Lucia campus but also at affiliated major teaching hospitals. Phase 2 is a clinical immersion phase (years 3 and 4) delivered at a range of hospitals and other clinical sites in Brisbane, across Queensland and in Louisiana. The phase is intended to prepare students for internship and residency, and covers the academic disciplines of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care, General Practice, Medical Ethics, Law and Professional Practice, Medical Imaging, Medicine, Molecular and Cellular Pathology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics and Child Health, Psychiatry, Rural Medicine, and Surgery.

 

The UQ Medical Program 3 Year Transformation Program

Healthcare systems in Australia and globally are facing significant challenges. These include ageing populations, an increasing proportion living with multiple chronic conditions, ongoing inequalities in healthcare access and outcomes, and constrained funding. We need to continue to evolve our medical program to ensure that our graduates have the capacity to both lead and adapt to changing patient and population needs.

To this end, the current medical program will be enhanced over the next three years through a proposed major curriculum refresh and projects targeting intern readiness, public health, student choice, research literacy, quality improvement, integrated healthcare delivery and USMLE preparation. This builds on and consolidates projects from the last 18 months, which were focussed on admissions, student support and rural medical careers.

The three year plan is organised around the following seven themes:

  • Curriculum
  • Supporting, Developing & Engaging Our People
  • Admissions
  • Medical Student Support
  • Rural Medical Careers
  • Research & Enhancement Activities
  • Quality Improvements & Assurance.
