The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences comprises the academic, technical, and administrative and clerical staff of the faculty, as well as all students undertaking courses offered by the faculty.
The faculty is divided into seven schools as follows:
The faculty has strong links with research institutes such as the Baker Medical Research Institute (Alfred Hospital), the Prince Henry's Institute for Medical Research (Monash Medical Centre), the Mental Health Research Institute, and the Macfarlane Burnet Institute for Medical Research & Public Health and with our major teaching hospitals, principally Monash Medical Centre, The Alfred and Box Hill. In total, the faculty operates in 125 practices and 68 hospitals. The faculty board governs the academic operations of the faculty. The dean is the chairperson of faculty board and has administrative responsibility for the faculty. Heads of schools support the dean with administrative and resource management matters, while the faculty manager is responsible for the overall general, teaching and research administration of the faculty. The associate deans and the deputy dean provide assistance with academic and student matters.
Teaching in the hospitals and other clinical settings is coordinated through the offices of the assistant deans (clinical) and the hospital clinical deans. Heads of schools, in conjunction with heads of departments and directors of centres and institutes, provide academic leadership within their disciplines and are responsible for the management of staff and resources. Heads and directors, together with all other professors, play a significant role in the overall academic activities of the faculty.
