Bachelor of Medicine
The Bachelor of Medicine is offered through the Joint Medical Program (JMP), a unique partnership collaboration between Hunter New England Health (HNEH), Northern Sydney Central Coast Health (NSCCH), the University of Newcastle (UoN) and the University of New England (UNE) – an Australian first.
The JMP initiative is an innovative, cost-effective response to the chronic shortage of doctors in regional, rural and remote areas of the Hunter and New England regions and across Australia. Since 2008, the BMed - JMP has been delivered across the two universities capitalising on both institutions' long traditions of excellence and achievement.
The BMed - JMP offers students a seamless mix of metropolitan, regional, rural and remote experience. It is charactised by an innovative problem-based, integrated curriculum with early clinical exposure and substantial community involvement. Students will work in small tutorial groups of 8-10 to analyse clinical problems, and to gain an understanding of relevant scientific data.
Commitment to the following core values is expected of students, staff and graduates. BMed graduates will:
- Practise medicine based on an integrated body of knowledge and guided by evidence;
- Respect the primacy of patient interests;
- Demonstrate ethical and socially responsible practice; and
- Be committed to life-long continuous educational development.
