Make a difference in your community with the new Joint Program in Medicine from Western Sydney University and Charles Sturt University.
Be ready for your internship and training in a speciality of your choosing.
As a graduate from this degree, you can look forward to career opportunities including:
General Practitioners diagnose and treat physical and mental illnesses, disorders and injuries. They recommend preventative action and refer patients to specialist Medical Practitioners, other health care workers, and social, welfare and support workers.
Medical Practitioners include occupations such as Dermatologists, Emergency Medicine Specialists, Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Ophthalmologists, Pathologists, Diagnostic and Interventional Radiologists, and Radiation Oncologists.
Specialist Physicians diagnose and treat internal human disorders and diseases using specialist testing, diagnostic and medical techniques. They can include Cardiologists, Oncologists, Endocrinologists, Neurologists, Paediatricians and other Specialities.
Medical teaching careers usually involve gaining an academic post in a university, but practising doctors also commonly teach as part of their work. You may be involved in the education of medical students, the training of resident medical officers, or the training of registrars.
