From 11 to 15 May, several members of the NewMed team enjoyed a highly productive multi-day visit to Federation University’s Mt. Helen campus. The purpose of the visit was to advance the operational and structural integration of NewMed becoming the Federation University School of Medicine.
Throughout the week, the joint teams engaged in intensive, collaborative workshops. These sessions were specifically directed at refining the integrated delivery and service offering, and shaping our comprehensive student support systems ready to go from day one.
The highlight of the week occurred on 12 May, when the Federation University Academic Board successfully completed its rigorous course approval processes and formally approved the ND9 MD Program. This academic milestone is a major step forward as we work toward delivering a contemporary, evidence based medical curriculum designed to meet the unique healthcare needs of Australian communities.
