About this program
Bond University's Doctor of Medicine is the second, postgraduate stage of the Bond Medical Program, following the Bachelor of Medical Studies to give eligible graduates registration as a medical practitioner in Australia or New Zealand. As with the Bachelor, direct entry is limited to Australian citizens, permanent residents, Australian Humanitarian visa holders and New Zealand citizens; international students can still reach the Doctor of Medicine by first completing a recognised Bond pathway degree such as the Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Master of Occupational Therapy or Doctor of Physiotherapy and meeting the required GPA and prerequisites. Teaching continues the clinical immersion begun in year three of the Bachelor, working through 12 clinical rotations across hospital and community healthcare settings in areas including women's health, child health, mental health, surgery, emergency medicine and general practice, plus a selective and two elective or pre-internship placements in Australia or overseas. Graduates complete a research, professional or capstone project and portfolio, and are eligible for registration as a medical practitioner in any Australian state or territory, or in New Zealand.
