This interdisciplinary course provides quality
training in biomedical sciences, social sciences and
clinical skills. It is designed to deliver an equivalent
program to that of the Australia-based Medical
program, where the entry criteria, learning
outcomes and assessments including marking
standards are the same as those at the Clayton
campus in Australia. > Geriatrics
This course draws on Monash's leading
expertise in medical practice and research, and
the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health
Sciences' strengths in the cardio-metabolic field,
infection and immunity, global public health and
neuroscience. > Public health and population health
Areas of study
NOTE
The Bachelor of Medical Science and
Doctor of Medicine will replace the
Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of
Surgery (Honours) MBBS program with
effect from 2019 entry. The Bachelor of
Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine
(MD) is an internationally-recognised,
higher level qualification. While the name
of the medicine program is changing, the
changes to the curriculum will be minor
and in line with the year to year review of
the medical program. It will continue to be
a 5-year Direct Entry program. The entry
and selection requirements as well as
course accreditation in Malaysia and
Australia remain unchanged.
The medical curriculum incorporates four
themes:
> Personal and professional development
> Population, society, health and illness
> Scientific basis of clinical practice
> Clinical skills
Areas of study include:
> Molecules, cells and tissues
> Human development and growth
> Genomics
> Musculo-skeletal system

“Monash emphasises clinical experience very early on,
and is one of the few universities in Malaysia that
offers full attachment to a tertiary hospital by year
three. It’s a big leap from preclinical sciences lectures
but this transition is what truly enabled me to prepare
for a lifelong career in medicine.”
