Description

Undergraduate medicine at Monash examines the individual, population and societal aspects of health and illness, and explores the history and philosophy of the scientific approach to medicine, and the knowledge and concepts that underpin medical and clinical science.

In preparing students to become medical practitioners, studies in this discipline also concentrate on the personal attributes and qualities needed to work as a doctor. Students develop clinical sckills by interacting with a range of healthcare professionals through general practice and rural visits, and gain experience in a wide range of medical work places including accident and emergency, anaesthesia, palliative care, infectious diseases and more.
