Medical education is a continuum.
The Flinders University Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree is a postgraduate qualification that precedes prevocational and vocational training and continuing professional development.
The Flinders MD is recognised internationally for its innovative curriculum that delivers outstanding clinical and academic training, integrating clinical medicine with a strong underpinning in biomedical science and provides a broad understanding of health in a range of social contexts.
The MD aims to develop the elements of knowledge, understanding and skill central to varied areas of medical practice, producing graduates well prepared to act as hospital interns and with the potential to follow a full range of medical specialties in subsequent training.
During years 1 and 2, students are based at a Flinders University campus in either South Australia (Adelaide, the Riverland or the Greater Green Triangle) or Darwin. Clinical rotations in years 3 and 4 may be undertaken at various locations, primarily in Adelaide, rural South Australia or urban, rural or remote Northern Territory.
South Australian Medical Education & Training (SAMET) provides a useful depiction of the Medical Workforce Training Continuum from high school through to Specialist Consultant.
