Australian medical school rankings 2015

There are medical schools here in Canada. So why would Canadians consider studying at an Australian Medical School?

Because Australian and Canada share

• a similar medical system;
• a similar medical education; and
• similar medical issues.

Medical schools in Australia offer high-quality education and clinical training in an amazing setting! Studying medicine in Australia is a great experience and really helps students appreciate the worldwide aspect of health, since many clinical placements are offered around the globe.
Another great reason to study in Australia is because of their incredible world rankings. The QS World University Rankings has recently released its 2015 rankings by subject, and here are the basics regarding how our medical schools stacked up:

Undergraduate- versus Graduate-entry Medical Programs

Undergraduate Entry: Rather than having to earn a bachelor degree first, undergraduate-entry medical programs allow students to enter directly from high school. If you have completed high school studies or would like to apply to a medical school in Australia without using your MCAT score, you may wish to learn more about undergraduate-entry medical programs offered by Australian universities.
JCU Medical School offers an undergraduate-entry program that specializes in rural, remote and indigenous medicine and is located in north Queensland, Australia.
Monash University Medical School’s undergraduate-entry MBBS program provides a great pathway for students who are looking to gain entry into medical school directly from high school.
Graduate Entry: Some Australian Medical Schools offer a graduate-entry medical program where you first have to complete an undergraduate degree, such as a Bachelor of Science, in order to apply to a four-year medical program.
The following Australian medical schools offer a medical program at a graduate-entry level, which are similar to those medical programs offered in Canada and the United States:

• Griffith University Medical School
• Monash University Medical School
• University of Melbourne Medical School
• University of Queensland Medical School
• University of Sydney Medical School
