NewMed is advancing through the AMC accreditation process and plans for its first cohort to commence in 2027, subject to approval.
Students will be distributed across the country, learning through a new high-quality MD Program. NewMed has established primary care agreements across the five mainland states.
The delivery model uses advanced technologies to engage students in facilitated online small group learning, complemented by back-to-base workshop weeks, and supervised placements in primary care (general practice) for the first 3 years. The 4th (final) year is hospital based. Programmatic learning and assessment is prominent.
Supervised clinical time in General Practice is needed for 4 hours per week in the first year, increasing to 8 hours/week (year 2) and 3 days/week (year 3).
Year 4 will require clinical placements in towns and cities with suitable hospitals.
Supporting your investment in the next generation, NewMed offers a stipend (similar and in addition to any PIP payments), active support and training from NewMed GP academics, and the opportunity of a medical student (or two) remaining with your general practice over three years, developing their skills and contributing to care under supervision.

To establish and deliver an outstanding new medical school for Australia.
Our graduates will be well versed in all elements of medical practice, emphasising Primary Care Medicine.
They will be well equipped for their practice as safe, trusted, and self-aware with excellent teamwork and communication skills.
They will practice sustainably, building on their knowledge of the individual, community, societal, environmental and financial complexities of the health care system.
They will be well prepared to respectfully engage with people of all cultural backgrounds, especially Australia’s First Nations people.
As medical graduates, they will be informed by clinical research and evidence-based Medicine.
Australia needs more doctors! Currently, Australia imports more doctors each year than it graduates from its own medical schools. The NewMed program aims to graduate doctors that will serve the needs of different local communities, especially those in outer-urban, rural, and remote areas.
Our graduates will follow many and varied medical careers. It is expected that many will select primary care and/or rural practice.
