Adelaide Medical School is the largest school in the University, providing an innovative and collaborative research and teaching environment, with major locations in the Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building on North Terrace, and the Royal Adelaide, Queen Elizabeth, Lyell McEwin and Women’s and Children’s Hospitals.
Our large team of talented academics and titleholders, both clinical and non-clinical, undertake world-class laboratory, clinical and population-based research, working closely with the health sector to answer important questions about diseases and their determinants and treatments, as well as to deliver health care effectively and efficiently. We have trained doctors for nearly 140 years, and in 2022, launched our Doctor of Medicine (MD) program. Students are provided with practical case-based learning, simulated and real-world clinical experience, and valuable interprofessional learning opportunities.
