The School of Medicine brings together academics from a diverse range of disciplinary backgrounds to provide excellent educational experiences for students, and to address important challenges facing the health of individuals, communities and populations. Our discipline groups of Indigenous Health, Medical and Exercise Science, Medicine, Nutrition and Dietetics work together to produce health professionals who can work effectively in interdisciplinary health care teams and scientists who are ready to address key questions in health and disease.
As well as our strong base at the University of Wollongong campus, we have teaching locations in Shoalhaven and at health care facilities across New South Wales. We work to connect with communities and understand their health care needs and our distributed geography provides students with rich learning experiences.
The School of Medicine is committed to producing academically and clinically strong graduates and excellent research. Generation of new research knowledge and translation of existing knowledge into practice is central to our purpose. My thanks go to the many Staff and Honorary Clinical Academics who make the School of Medicine a great place to grow professionally and learn. My equal thanks go to our communities whose support continues to be an inspiration to us all.
