The University of Queensland's Faculty of Medicine is an internationally recognised provider of world-class education and research.

The Faculty possesses enormous strengths spanning research, teaching, industry engagement and clinical practice in disciplines ranging from the basic sciences, biomedical research and development, to clinical trials and public health.
