Medicine

The normal way for a person to become a medical practitioner in Victoria is by doing a university course leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB BS). The graduate is then eligible for provisional registration by the Medical Practitioners Board of Victoria. After serving a compulsory internship year in an approved hospital, he/she is eligible for final registration in Victoria, and for registration in other states of Australia.

The Australian Medical Council (AMC) has the responsibility for the accreditation of medical schools in Australia.

Monash University also offers a graduate entry Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. All students will need to have completed (or be in the process of completing) a three year degree (or equivalent qualification) obtained from an Australian university or recognised (as determined by Monash University) international higher education institution. The course is a four year full-time course offered at the Gippsland campus. The same registration provisions apply for this graduate entry course as for the undergraduate program.
