The best part of my study with JCU Medicine has been the placements. You get to see first-hand what the job is really like. The opportunity to interact with patients and see real-life examples of the conditions we study in books enriches the learning and does so much more to develop our skills than study can do alone.

I think if you want to study medicine in Australia you have to look at all your options and JCU is really highly regarded. Speaking to my colleagues, not just in the regional setting but down south in Sydney, everyone regards medical students that have graduated from JCU as being very well prepared for work life.

JCU students are ready to step through the doors of a rural facility like Babinda, which is a multipurpose health service, and become one of the team. The confidence they have and the ability to apply their skills and knowledge is very evident.

Our JCU course actually has one of the highest number of placement hours of any course in Australia. We pride ourselves on being able to produce graduates who are extremely work ready and hit the ground running.

I was always interested in rural medicine and I have been keen on studying tropical medicine and JCU offered both. The programme was a perfect fit for me. When I looked at JCU Medicine’s placement program I was impressed as it gives us ample opportunities to gain hands-on experience and prepares us well for the future....
