As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on the exciting year of growth and progress towards establishing an outstanding new Medical School in Australia.
This year marked many exciting milestones with our move to a new office in the heart of Brisbane city on Turbot Street, the introduction of 15 new staff, and our submission of application to TEQSA to become a University College.
We also completed our Stage 1 submission to the Australian Medical Council. A key highlight recently was the faculty workshop attended by all staff, focusing on aligning our academic and operational goals for the exciting journey ahead.
It was great to have an in person event, bringing everyone together from across the country (and New Zealand) as we collaborated on further program development towards delivery of world-class education for our planned inaugural cohort starting in January 2026 (subject to accreditation).
We capped off the year with a Christmas dinner at Malt Dining. It was a perfect way to celebrate our achievements, share the joy in our collective efforts, and express gratitude to the wonderful team.
As we look ahead to 2025, thank you all for being part of this incredible journey. We especially thank the many general practices around Australia who wish to take on NewMed medical students.
Warm wishes for a joyful Christmas, the holiday season and a prosperous New Year!
