Overview

As a doctor, you will need to fulfil a number of roles including that of a professional, leader, advocate, clinician, educator and scholar, and these key roles form the themes around which the UWA Doctor of Medicine curriculum is structured.

As well as undertaking relevant biomedical science learning and development of clinical knowledge and skills reasoning, you will develop effective communication, leadership and teamwork skills for collaborative patient care.

You may also pursue opportunities for depth of study in areas of your interest, through electives, selectives, extension and scholarly activity. This Doctor of Medicine course from The University of Western Australia prepares graduates with the professional attributes required for successful medical internships.
