Across 22–24 June, the NewMed team convened in Brisbane for a series of workshops towards becoming the School of Medicine at Federation University. This marked a significant milestone as we advance on our AMC accreditation pathway, continuing to prepare to deliver the innovative MD program for Australia.
The NewMed team was delighted to host Federation University’s Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Duncan Bentley, alongside Associate Professor Jason Giri, the Dean of Quality, Accreditation and Partnerships. This close collaboration provided an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the clinical depth, rigour, and contemporary structure of the graduate-entry medical program.
The Chair of the NewMed Board, Emeritus Professor Jeffrey Rosenfeld AC OBE also participated in the workshops, working together with university leadership to review the program of work. The combined efforts across the week reinforced the shared commitment to educational excellence, generating momentum towards accreditation, preparation for delivery and applications.
