Doctor Of Medicine

The Sydney Doctor of Medicine (MD) is a masters-level degree that provides students with world-class clinical and research training. On completion, graduates are eligible for provisional registration with the Medical Board of Australia as a medical practitioner. From 2022 the Sydney MD Program will be offered in two streams - the Metropolitan Stream based in Sydney, and the Dubbo Stream based in central-western NSW, 400km from Sydney. The same curriculum will be delivered across the two streams of the four-year graduate-entry course. Transfer between the two streams is not permitted. Our course is based on best practice in medical education, with opportunities to learn in Sydney’s premier teaching hospitals as well as in rural and international locations. Graduates leave as medical practitioners, responsive to the health needs of individuals, families and communities and committed to improving the health care system at all levels.
