From a student perspective, Bond University stands alone. The reason why? Well, actually there are three of them, all which add up to a far better university experience and outcome for you – regardless of which field of study you choose.

Doctor of Medicine

"Through the help of the Student Opportunity Fund I was able to spend four weeks in Kirakira, a small community of around 4,000 people in the Solomon Islands. The experience made me appreciate our healthcare system a lot more, and also made me feel like I should be contributing a lot more to developing nations and their healthcare systems if I have the opportunity to do so."

NAVTEJ CHHIBBER

"The Student Opportunity Fund made it possible for me to travel to Washington D.C. and intern with the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, which is an international non-profit that seeks to eradicate child sexual abuse, exploitation and abduction. At times it was quite confronting, but it was also incredibly rewarding knowing that my work was contributing to a safer world for children."

The intensive format and its frequency, the selection criteria for the cohort, and the units on offer meant I could work in Western Australia and commute to the Gold Coast for intensive study blocks.

DESCRIPTIONThe Medical Program^ is comprised of two sequential degrees – the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD). All students selected for entry into the Medical Program^ will have to complete both the BMedSt and MD to be eligible for registration as a medical practitioner in any state or territory in Australia or New Zealand. Both degrees are awarded at the completion of Year 5.

The Medical Program^ is designed to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills and attributes that a doctor requires to safely and effectively practise medicine in today’s complex healthcare environment.

The Medical Program^ is distinguished by its strong educational focus on case-based learning, evidence- based medicine and integrated clinical practice. Due to small class sizes, students learn in a highly personalised environment with state-of-the-art equipment.

Students benefit from a variety of teaching and learning systems, including case-based small group tutorials, problem-based learning, practical classes, clinical skills and laboratory training, self-directed learning, web-based and e-learning, interactive seminars and lectures. This contemporary approach to medical education ensures that learning relates directly to patient care and prepares graduates to assume a high level of responsibility.

The Medical Program^ is comprised of 14 semesters total over the two sequential degrees, or equivalent to 7 standard academic years in duration. However, with Bond’s three semesters-per-year timetable and intensive clinical training periods, the Medical Program^ is completed in just 4 years and 8 months, with graduates then eligible to apply for hospital internships.

well as clinical skills laboratories, simulation activities, community and clinical placements and a cultural immersion experience.

The program extensively uses a problem-based learning (PBL) approach, where each week introduces a clinical case around which the learning is integrated.

In the third year, students are located at the University Clinical Education and Research Centre at Robina Hospital. This enables students to have a full additional year immersed in the clinical environment and acts as an excellent transition from the campus based learning to the full immersion in the workplace in the MD component of the Medical Program^.

Year 12 semestersYear 1 commences with the molecular and cellular foundations of life and then guides learning through the first cycle of the body systems, arranged in generations.This cycle focuses on:• Introducing the structure and function of discrete

organs• Psychological basis of normal human behaviour• Sociological basis of the behaviours of populations

The foundations of an effective practitioner are explored through an introduction to conducting effective observations of people both healthy and ill. This involves the beginning of the development of the understanding of and the skills involved in effective interpersonal communication, group work and collaborative learning.

Collectively, integrated learning opportunities provide the foundations of:• Awareness of the roles of the doctor and healthcare

system• The impact of illness on the patient, their family

and society• The ethical basis of patient-centred healthcare

Year 1 also includes an Indigenous focus, with a cultural immersion experience occurring in Semester 2 as part of Bond’s innovative Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health curriculum.

Year 23 semestersYear 2 is framed around a second cycle through the body systems and focuses on:

• Relationships between structure and function, building complexity into an integrative systems focus

• Mechanisms of disease and infectious organisms• Normal compensatory mechanisms for restoring

normal function

Knowledge of psychosocial frameworks is deepened and broadened to explore the varied responses of individuals, groups, populations and cultures to disease as well as the exploration of psychosocial factors that contribute to disease and impact on patient healthcare, highlighting the complexities of health inequities.

The foundation knowledge and skills of a competent practitioner continue with a focus on history taking and physical examination of discrete systems. The ethical complexities of healthcare are then further explored inclusive of the legal framework for provision of healthcare and placements in healthcare settings will provide the context for introducing healthcare systems.

Year 33 semestersIn Year 3, the format of learning changes from facilitator guided, problem-based learning to clinician lead, case-based learning. Bond has developed the Bond Virtual Hospital © which is a virtual clinical learning environment where students work in small groups to diagnose and manage a range of clinical cases. At both the University campus and the Clinical Education and Research Centre, Bond has an accredited, advanced simulation facility that provides an authentic context to the procedural and clinical skills that students acquire in preparation for their clinical work in the final two years of the program.Over the course of the year, students complete clinical rotations which mirror where they will be placed in the final two years of the curriculum. The rotations include General Practice, Medicine, Surgery, Mental Health, Child Health, Women’s Health, Emergency and Critical Care. Students are also exposed to the clinical sciences of pathology and pharmacology and learn the principles of medical imaging.

The Centre for Research in Evidence-Based Practice is the leading research centre at Bond University. Research activity is focused on understanding the gaps between research evidence and its application to practice. In Year 3, students will have the opportunity to complete a course through this centre. They will learn from academics of international standing, and gain first-class skills in assessing evidence in medical practice. In addition, students complete research modules and written assessments that provide them with the foundation skills they need to complete their project requirements for the MD.

Please be aware that due to placement opportunities, the length of semesters may vary compared to the standard Bond academic calendar.

OUTCOMESStudents who complete the Bachelor of Medical Studies proceed directly into the Doctor of Medicine program.

DOCTOR OF MEDICINEYEARS 4 – 5 'THE CLINICAL YEARS'The Doctor of Medicine (MD) component is an Extended Master's level program and is undertaken through clinical rotations in hospital and community healthcare settings, as well as face-to-face teaching at timetabled education sessions. During this time, students undertake a research or professional project, or a capstone experience and prepare a portfolio of their work.

"The whole way through my master’s course, I worried about not knowing what I wanted to do when the course finished. I thought I had to choose one thing, when I really wanted to do everything. Ultimately, I learnt that the field of dietetics is so broad and varied that you don’t need to follow a ‘set route’ to carve out your career – you just need to follow your interests.

I learnt to listen to the advice of others and put it into action. I was aware that people with more experience than me have learnt

JOSH MORRISONMASTER OF SPORTS SCIENCE | ALUMNUS

“When Professor Peter Reaburn mentioned the internship opportunity available to our Master's of Sports Science cohort I was instantly intrigued and put my name forward for the placement. I was successfully chosen for the placement - the internship was for the Oceania Cup Tournament where Australia versed Samoa, Fiji, and New Zealand in rugby games.

During this placement I was given the opportunity to help with physiotherapy screenings, strapping, gym sessions, rehab runs, supplementation, and recovery - all of which ensure that the athletes are able to train and play at an optimal intensity and reduce the risk of injury. This experience was invaluable and it was great to be able to apply some of the learnings I had acquired in class to a group of professional athletes.

Once the tournament was over I was asked to join the Australian team in Canberra at the Australian Institute of Sport for their pre-World Champions training camp. My main responsibilities throughout the tour were to collect GPS data for the athletes and analyse the data to reduce the risk of injury.

Following the training camp at the AIS, I joined the team and made the long journey to Tbilisi, Georgia. This internship provided me with hands on experience and enabled me to apply the knowledge I learnt at Bond University. I was able to make industry connections and build strong relationships with professionals.”

I was fortunate to study at Osaka University. Japan is one of many culturally rich countries within Asia, and throws you right in the deep end of life. I mean this in the most positive way. Trekking out in the snowy mountains of Hokkaido, escaping to Seoul for the weekend, 12 hour bike trips and so much more to explore. It’s staggering, knowing just how much I could achieve in a single year. I met incredible people from all corners of the world, and together we explored Japan. This made for incredible memories. I took so much away from this experience.

“Living in the Netherlands and studying at Leiden University has been one of the most significant experiences of my life so far! Learning from leading experts at the Leiden Law School has greatly expanded my knowledge and understanding in areas such as privacy law, internet governance and European legal history. In addition, I have been learning Dutch, attended events at The Hague, and have travelled to Finland, Russia, Germany and Belgium. Moving to a new country alone is transformative; this experience has enabled me to step outside my comfort zone, to gain personal and professional growth and make new friendships with students from all over the world.”
