Bachelor of Medical Studies

Medicine is intellectually rewarding, challenging and inspiring. It requires critical problem-solving, teamwork and integrity. Medical practitioners are passionately interested in wellbeing, and work to protect and promote the health of individuals and communities. They are dedicated to alleviating pain and suffering, and caring for vulnerable people. Our Bachelor of Medical Studies provides the foundation knowledge and skills needed to excel in health care. Learning in partnership with outstanding clinicians in our state-of-the-art Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building, you will: work in small groups to address scenario-based problems relating to common and important individual, community, Indigenous and global health issues, gain valuable exposure to real-world clinical practice and develop your own safe and effective clinical skills in cutting-edge simulation facilities, investigate the social determinants of health and health behaviours, learn to evaluate the health status of individuals and populations, acquire a solid foundation in research skills and evidence-based care, learn collaboratively in interprofessional teams.
